Another night alone again
And even though I don't really need a man
I go to my lab, start creating…
My perfect new boyfriend

I'm done with dudes not so woke
Or cocky bros with big egos
Waiting by the phone for it to beep
“WYD” from some dumb creep

See no time for wondering
If he’ll call back or start ghosting
No time for tears in the lean cuisine
I control who I'm making

Dream lover? Gonna make him real!
I'm gonna kill cause I got the skills
So off to the lab to create my guy
The best dudes ever are DIY

[Hook]

Paper Maché Boo
Cut and Paste Dude
Stretch are you
Boyfriend Material?

Thread, hot glue
Scissors cut through
Stretch are you
Boyfriend Material?

Open the trunk of my spare parts
Of all the men who broke my heart
Ooh this chest is really ripped!
Sew it to this arm. Biceps so big!

Snap in legs, he's my Ken Doll
My Gumby man is flexible
To the stretch machine! Gonna make him tall!
Pop on his skull, then two eyeballs

Sew on lips there pillow soft
All the better to get me off
Then one by one i'll pick his teeth
Cause men look better when they’re smiling

Wrapped skin tight from head to toe
Mold his buns like mounds of dough
Then pull the lever and oh surprise!
OMG He’s ALIVE!

Now I'm only swiping left
Cause mama deserves the best
Put them lames up on a shelf
Oh here’s my man!

[MC Frontalot]

Woke up calibrated just like this:
An Adonis among the sophisticates
But I missed the bits where I put it all together...
Did I do a lot of work? Doesn’t matter whether

I’m perfect now, let the past be over
Three limbs got tats, each says YOLO
Got three grams of fat on my whole body
Dare I check in the pants? Actually not shoddy

Bouncing off the kneecaps
Butt muscles rippling. I see that
Smile and it’s more charismatic
Than six Brad Pitts stapled together in a panoramic

Damn it! Just caught sight
Of the person with whom I’m about to spend my life
And he’s just my type and he’s there in the mirror
Like I’m built for me and that’s what I’m here for

Hook

Stretch for me
Stretch for me
I'm better off alone

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
