The F Word Lyrics - Singles - Cannibal Ox

It's like, I care about you, I think about you all the time 

it's like, we friends and shit? 

which means we treat each other right 

you'll be there for me when you gonna be there for me 

Verse 1: [Vast Aire Kramer] 

yo it wasn't even like that 

I wanted my cardiovascular to fight back 

cupid had me runnin' circles blindfolded 

in the daytime with a flashlight looking for her 

yo, sit back, relax and smell the roses 

a fly girl by any other name would still be that 

but the trick is to see that 

I'm caught in between future's fantasies and memories I played back 

told my man I started sword fighting 

'cause fencing was similar to tongue kissing 

if you wait too long you gonna end up confessin' 

all I think about is you undressin' 

I extended my thoughts in a relationship 

but they sunk like the titanic relation-ships 

she was in a love triangle 

but it wasn't like my feelings weren't there to make it a square 

penny's for her thoughts 

she's my very own American Beauty, red petals when we talk 

...the f word 

Chorus 1: [Vordul Megalon] 

She like music, got me heavily booted(?) 

when I'm out with her feelings be mixin' 

chemical elixirs, caught her like a sickness 

and can't get rid of it, these sexual addictions 

Chorus 2: [Vordul] 

tangle witted in my opposite sex friendships 

with too many emotions, got me bent up 

and it's real ill when something going on 

but nothings being said trying to figure it out 

wrapped all in your head just spit it out and I'll 

truly understand what the problem is 

'cause you got me twisted tryin' to stress birds 

kickin' that f word 

fuckin around, flirtin' and stressin' my nerves 

Verse 2: [Vast] 

check this situation, I wore my lust like cologne 

she called it Obsession 

the background's black and white and we adolescents 

like what the fuck we know about love? 

the more I learn it's like the Clash of the Titans 

all I wanna do is avoid fightin' 

a little arguing's okay but not everyday 

and if we can't communicate what we got decays 

until the smell gets more pungent 

to the point where we can't be seen in public 

body parts fallin' apart, a symbol of what things do 

or better yet, a symbol of what friends do, they die 

and together forever just sounds fly 

that's how it sounded to me when I heard it 

and slow motion was her lips as she worded 

the f word 

"don't take it personal, I like you a lot but I don't wanna lose what we got" 

but what we got now is friction 

she tellin' me intimacy and friendship she ain't mixin' 

the f word 

Chorus 1 

Verse 3: [Vast] 

yo, you burnin' the candle at both ends 

I'm supposed to be the friend, I'm gettin' fried in the end 

the big bang theory, what is this a trend? 

you ask a girl out and the universe extends 

tell me to talk to the hand again and I'll read your palm 

I'm smellin' your shit now, don't know how to call 

all I wanted was grounds for understanding 

I ain't greedy, but to hold your heart I gotta put my hand in, why debate? 

you think you can fit me in that anorexic space between love and hate? 

I got all of the first one and none of the other 

and that's something I learned from my sister and my mother 

thought we was close in the genesis before all this 

technology was cordless, a senseless courtship 

this is more than just a song and when he's treating you wrong 

I'm more than just a shoulder to cry on 

the F word 

Chorus 1 & 2
