0:26She's not as hot as she was, but she was only a four
0:30She was never a girls' girl, she was just a— (Gasp!)
0:33And with all of that money, why's she dressed like trash?
0:36When she smiles, it's annoying, and have you seen her
0:39Stumbling clumsily?
0:42Would you even call that dancing?
0:45I can see what you mean
0:49And now I guess there's
0:53Something we all can agree on
0:59But my baby likes what he likes, oh-woah, oh-oh
1:06He already took me to Cleveland!
1:11And showed me The Heights, so hate all you like
1:15This is the love of my life, hey, hey, hey
1:19The taste of me is acquired, but it's his favorite dish
1:23He says I look like an angel, they say, "I hate that—" (Bi—)
1:26There, that house with the porch is where he lived as a kid
1:29He's been saying forever, must not have read that
1:33Scathing take 'bout how I'm fake and he could find someone younger
1:38I can see what they mean and now I guess there's
1:46Something we all can agree on
1:52But my baby likes what he likes, oh-woah, oh-oh
1:59He already took me to Cleveland!
2:05And he showed me The Heights, so hate all you like (Uh-huh)
2:09This is the love of my life, hey, hey, hey
2:12He likes what he likes, what he likes and he likes me
2:18He likes what he likes, what he likes and he likes me
2:25You only need to find one person in this entire world who doesn't find you completely insufferable
2:34And I have an important announcement to make
2:38I found mine! (That's right)
2:41(...)
2:45Well, I found mine (Hey, hey, hey)
2:48Yeah, I found mine
2:53Yes, that's something we all can agree on (I guess we agree, but)
3:00But my baby likes what he likes, oh-woah, oh-oh
3:06He already took me to Cleveland! (To Cleveland!)
3:13Now I'm wearing white (Yeah), so hate all you like (Uh-huh)
3:16This is the love of my life (Hey, hey, hey)
