Um, you're my G-O L-D E-N G-I R-L

Thanks for fucking with me

My negatives at home aren't working for my Kodak

So that means that I don't want to go back
FM7
Just know that I would like to stay here and hold that

Hand of yours, girl I'm a wreck in America

Your face is the best cause it's the same color as the lace on my neck

And you're golden, uh, your eyes open, fuck it

FM7
Um, I trust you, Golden, for what? ?
FM7
I'm just hopin' that you don't turn my neck green.
