Oh, ooh ooh ooh (uh), aw yeah (uh huh)
Ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah (yeah, yeah, uh)

I am the one you denied
Brushed me off every time I tried
But I'm alright
I'm able to swallow my pride
And put all the bullshit to the side
If you ready to ride
I'm down for a one night stand
I'll accept it any way that I can
'Cause I ain't yo man
I'll try for whatever it's worth
Just remember who played who first, yeah yeah

Uh, I can't keep my eyes off ya
I can tell why them other guys lost ya
Your kinds rarer than a flyin' saucer
And that's what I can offer
Similarities in our characters
Haven't ya heard the word 'round town?
How I get down? (yeah)
They gon' whistle
Everybody part is official
And that ass wit' you
Got my dick hard as a missile
Don't hop on top
'Cause I ride around with a pistol
If they pull us over, I'll be out of town wit' a issue
If you was mine I'd introduce you to mama, girl (oh, ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah)
Your stylin' in your boots and Gabbana
I'm so used to your Prada (baby)
I take trips cause out in Houston, its hotter (oh, ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah)
Throw in that Al Green and juice the Impala
Lay my jewels on my collar
Ya had me feelin' like a fool when I holla'd
Tryna squeeze in but you wasn't bothered
Now I ain't either
Soon as I realize that I ain't need her
She in a rush to get close to me, but I ain't eager, shit

I am the one you denied
Brushed me off every time I tried
But I'm alright
I'm able to swallow my pride
And put all the bullshit to the side
If you ready to ride
I'm down for a one night stand
I'll accept it any way that I can
'Cause I ain't yo man (uh)
I'll try for whatever it's worth
Just remember who played who first, yeah, yeah (uh)

Look I don't mean to bother you
But your sex appeal is remarkable
You make a G wanna walk around in a park wit' you
There ain't no tellin' the kinda things I'ma start to do
If I get wrapped up on your ass too fast
I can tell you feel the same 'cause when I ask, you laugh
So I'ma leave it at that, take a hint and put in my math (ooh)
I imagine you prolly look twice as good in the bath
And I'm buggin'
'Cause I can see you right in the hood when I pass (oh, ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah)
I'm never stable, 'cause business is on my ass
But you can be the one that I visit before I dash
And I admit, I been the type to hit and split (oh, ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah)
But you can blame me for the females that I been gettin' wit'
'Cause most of these broads has had they eyes on my grit
To the eager shit and learned to be satisfied with the dick (ooh)
And if you ain't worth it then that's all you get
I ain't gon' blame you, I'ma blame all you tricks
'Cause

I am the one you denied
Brushed me off every time I tried
But I'm alright
I'm able to swallow my pride
And put all the bullshit to the side
If you ready to ride
I'm down for a one night stand
I'll accept it any way that I can
'Cause I ain't yo man
I'll try for whatever it's worth
Just remember who played who first, yeah, yeah

You seem like your attitude
Only appears when I'm mad at you
When several situations occur and that includes
When I'm gone too long, ridin' through them avenues
As soon as I get home (you know, oh yeah), there's rumors and scattered news
You know my fantasies, am I feelin' things or can this be
Your girlfriend tryna sandwich me
My hearts colder then sandwich meat
'Cause I come from the hood where the hammers be (yeah, yeah)
I move fast but I switch pace (switch pace)
And pop a Listerine strip in, before you get all up in a bitch face
Movin' your body like this
Gon' make me blow like a bottle of Crist'
Man, I don't know no one hotter than Twist
You got my temperature risin' from your hips to you're thighs and
That glare in your eyes that brighten up her horizon (yeah)
It comes naturally, I don't bribe 'em
Its easy as, 1-2-3, and I slide in

I am the one you denied (yeah)
Brushed me off every time I tried
But I'm alright
I'm able to swallow my pride
And put all the bullshit to the side
If you ready to ride
I'm down for a one night stand
I'll accept it any way that I can
'Cause I ain't yo man
I'll try for whatever it's worth
Just remember who played who first, yeah yeah

(I am) I am the one you denied (ooh-ooh)
Brushed me off every time tried (ooh yeah)
But I'm alright
I'm able to swallow my pride (yeah)
And put all the bullshit to the side
If you ready to ride (woah)
I'm down for a one night stand (oh ooh)
I'll accept it any way that I can (oh ooh)
'Cause I ain't yo man
I'll try for whatever it's worth
Just remember who played who first, yeah yeah

Oh, ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah
Ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah
Oh, ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah
Ooh ooh ooh, aw yeah

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
