Paraphrase
Baba Brinkman

Women love me; I like to party

I’m makin’ money come just by talking

And you can’t stop me if you’ve got a problem

With my carefree ways

Women want me, not just my body

I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing

And you can’t stop me, not with an army

That’s my paraphrase


So why you wanna hate on me huh?

Cause I occasionally play a little make believe?

So? You can’t take leaps patiently

You’ve gotta fake it ‘til you make to the place to be

You wanna learn how to dance by watching

From the sidelines all night long? Not a chance

Balls to the wall with a lot of incompetence

Involved is just common sense

So come on, little mouse, dive in!

Struggle ‘til the cream that you've been strivin’

To churn into butter with your butterfly swim

Turns into something you can thrive in

I’ve been entrepreneurial

Long enough to know what every broke musician

In Vancouver knows: sometimes it helps

To be self-delusional, ‘cause you can go…


Women love me; I like to party

I’m makin’ money come just by talking

And you can’t stop me if you’ve got a problem

With my carefree ways

Women want me, not just my body

I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing

And you can’t stop me, not with an army

That’s my paraphrase


So what are you fakin’ huh? Oooh

Let me guess, when you’re makin’ love is it

Somebody else’s face that you’re thinkin’ of?

Or, wait, are you finances safe enough?

Did you buy a better car on your credit card

Instead of stickin’ that little bit extra in a jar?

Just to show the critics that, yes, you’re livin’ large

With the recession and all; just cover it up

With a bit less for dinner; you’re not like the rest

Your perception is different; you know the smart


Money bets on a winner, and sometimes you’ve gotta talk

Before you get to deliver, and hey, what do you know?

Studies show that everybody

Finds your scent more attractive after you’ve just

Had sex, so if you’re tryin’ to pull

Might I suggest a little Eau de Nastiness


Women love me; I like to party

I’m makin’ money come just by talking

And you can’t stop me if you’ve got a problem

With my carefree ways

Women want me, not just my body

I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing

And you can’t stop me, not with an army

That’s my paraphrase


Nobody wants to listen to paraphrase

Why not? Hmm, ‘cause they’re afraid

We’ll find out they’re broke and their marriage is fake

But that’s the American way

It’s just a game, and everybody plays it

Academics to intellectual vagrants

Acting like the ivory temple is sacred

When, guess what? The Emperor’s naked!

I’ve heard a few hippies try to say they can opt out

Turn on, tune in, and cop out

But me I’d rather ride around town with the top down

And paraphrase the whole hip-hop sound

So go ahead, show some bravado

Crack a bottle; better yet, write a novel

But never forget that this time is borrowed

And you’re gonna pay it back tomorrow


Women love me; I like to party

I’m makin’ money come just by talking

And you can’t stop me if you’ve got a problem

With my carefree ways

Women want me, not just my body

I live it up ‘cause I came from nothing

And you can’t stop me, not with an army

That’s my paraphrase
