Underneath these starry eyes I’m a loner
Big shiny chassis and a merciless motor
Whisperin’ sweet nothings lookin’ over my shoulder
My friends may be close but my frenemies are closer

You be the King of Spades I’ll be the joker
Flash all these pearly whites as I’m takin’ over
Jack up that SPF for overexposure
My friends may be close but my frenemies are closer

I got a tendency to never look back
This strange necessity to counterattack
Coincidentally it helps me relax
Around these frenemies like a suicide pact

You take the high road mine’s a little lower
Words like bullets and a mouth like a holster
Two glassy eyes playin’ one long game of poker
My friends may be close but my frenemies are closer

It’s all the same I’ll take the blame
Go ahead get close to me
There ain’t no shame it’s just a game
So won’t you be my frenemy
