Lyrics
I turn the music down
But I don't know why
This is my house
I turn the music down
But I don't know why
This is my house
The best friend on the payroll
No, no, no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
No, no, no, no
The best friend on the payroll
Oh, no, no, no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
More breakfast in bed
And I'll bring the paper in later
The best friend on the payroll
Oh, no, no, no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
No, no, no, no
The best friend on the payroll
Oh, no, no, no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
More breakfast in bed
And I'll bring the paper in later
The best friend on the payroll
No, no, no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
No, no, no, no
The best friend on the payroll
No, no, no, no
It's not gonna work out
It's not gonna work out
