[ Featuring Lauryn Collins ]
Hello, this is Lauryn
Please, get comfortable and lock your phones
'Cause the story's about to begin
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell you 'bout
One of the many men, name is irrelevant, height is irrelevant
He was a one out of a ten, I wish that I knew it then
I'm still recovering
Truly, I'm vulnerable, I love a sentiment
Quickly I opened up, I learned my lesson then
Thought I was safe again, thought he was innocent
I was so wrong
I can't deny
I was stuck in a daze, a terrible phase
You was convincing, though
Very believable, the role that you played
So I'll take this front row seat
And, baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning tears
Popcorn and ice cream
And baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning tears, baby, hmm
Oh, what a tragedy, it didn't have to be
Look how you talk to me, cursing and blasphemy
Cinematography, get this on camera, please
Or no one gon' believe this here
I can't deny
I thought you was the man, that you had a plan
F*ck you lying for? F*ck you crying for?
You did it again
So I'll take this front row seat
And baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning tears
Popcorn and ice cream
And baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning (tears) tears
You can miss me with the bullshit
I can see right through your (tears) tears, baby
Nine o'clock entertainment
Oh, man, I wish I could tape
Sit down, no tissues
No string section, no tiny violin
For the last time, I'm your audience
I'll take this front row seat
And baby, baby, you can go ahead and cry those, baby
And baby, baby, baby, would you really go ahead?
And would you go ahead and just cry, cry, cry, cry? (Tears, baby)
C-cry those (Go ahead, cry those Oscar-winning) mmm (tears)
Baby
Go ahead, cry those Oscar-winning tears
And after his Oscar-winning performance
I left the room and never saw him again
