Potential

Matt Mahaffey

[Verse 1]
Hey, that's a real nice purse
Should spark jealousy in all the other girls
Hey, that's a real nice dress
Now every man around here's thinking 'bout sex (thinking 'bout sex)
You got beautiful new hair
But there's a stylist much richer somewhere
And what a lovely shiny car
If it were mine, I'd make payments 'til 3004

[Pre-Chorus]
You pretend not to see
But I like to think
That you'd do it for me
But I'm just not cool enough

[Chorus]
I got so much potential
But you don't give a damn about potential
Yeah, the future's inconsequential
Guess I'll go home alone
I got so much potential
But you don't give a damn about potential
Until the Benz and friends are not rentals
Guess I'll go home alone (alone)

[Verse 2]
Hey, that's a nice new nose
Guess you cut it off to cut down on the coke (habit)
And what a fancy new chest
Maybe later me and the boys can play b-ball with one breast (grab it)
You drop a grand on a makeup kit
But most men would probably dig you better without it
The most baffling partis that you work so hard
To fuck celebrities just so you can namedrop

[Pre-Chorus]
You pretend not to see
But I like to think
That you'd do it for me
But I'm just not cool enough

[Chorus]
I got so much potential
But you don't give a damn about potential
Yeah, the future's inconsequential
Guess I'll go home alone, alone
I got so much potential
But you don't give a damn about potential
Until the Benz and friends are not rentals
Guess I'll go home alone

[Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
You pretend not to see
But I like to think
That you'd do it for me
But I'm just not cool enough

[Chorus]
I got so much potential
But you don't give a damn about potential
Yeah, the future's inconsequential
Guess I'll go home alone
I got so much potential
But you don't give a damn about potential
Until the Benz and friends are not rentals
Guess I'll go home alone
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
