Listen up, listen up!

Hey, hey!

 

He wanna take me to the aftershow party

But he can't get no admission

And nobody seem to know him at all so I say

Are you really a musician?

 

I can see you got a heart of gold

But you ain't got no rhythm in your bones

I ain't got no defense,

Look you're the sweetest liar I know, I know

But you ain't never played the bass

You ain't never played the bass

 

Still the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you

But you ain't never played the bass

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no

 

He takes my hand and leads me to the bar buying drinks

While he's counting on his loose change

He's tripping honest without knowing that I already

Slipped my number in his wallet

 

I can see you got a heart of gold

Pretty sure the best is yet to know

And I ain't got no defense,

Look you're the sweetest liar I know, I know,

But you ain't never played the bass

You ain't never played the bass

 

Still the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you

But you ain't never played the bass

(No, no, no)

You ain't never played the bass

(No, no, no)

Still the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you

 

Somebody call a doctor

Call him up quick

Been gettin' to my heart

Then you know me lovesick

 

But you ain't never played the bass

You ain't never played the bass

 

Still the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you

But you ain't never played the bass

You ain't never played the bass

 

Still the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you

Somebody call a doctor

Call him up quick

Been gettin' to my heart

Then you know me lovesick.
