"the ringer" lyrics

They gon' put you through the ringer
They gon' choke you
They gon' hold you 'til you're down

'Cause this world is built for winners
So stay inside your room
And shut your mouth

You might spend your whole life waitin'
What you want may never show
I'm a child in my mind
But my body's gettin' old

Got no time
I'm far from patient
Mama said I'm gettin' cold
So cold

Maybe I'm your long lost loser
User
Wastin' your time
Maybe I got it wrong
Maybe you got it right

'Cause I'm a nuisance
Useless
Pain in your side
But if you give me one night
We'll have the time of your
Time of your life

Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You might think you're getting closer
But they'll pull the rug right
When you're in arms reach

Oh I swear it's never over
'Cause whatever they got
You just can't teach

You'll be happy 'til they hate it
The smile on your face
Gon' make them weak
You'll leave them all frustrated
'Cause they're unhappy
Five days of the week

Maybe I'm your long lost loser
User
Wastin' your time
Maybe I got it wrong
Maybe you got it right

'Cause I'm a nuisance
Useless
Pain in your side
But if you give me one night
We'll have the time of your
Time of your life

Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
