[Verse 1]
Yeah; I was at a show
Backstage untying my shoes
There was your friend from Wireimage
Standing beside her was you
And Nigo told me don't do it
My nice image would go up in fumes
But the head without the ears heard it
So you end up in my room

[Hook]
Textin' me a hundred times, callin' me a hundred times
Hope it is not you this time, damn I gotta change my line
Textin me you're gonna die, call the psychiatric line
Friends and family should know why, reportin' this as a crime
I bet you heard this song wanna know who I'm talkin' 'bout
I said I bet you heard this song wanna know who I'm talkin' 'bout
I bet you heard this song wanna know who I'm talkin' 'bout
I bet you heard this song wanna know who I'm talkin' 'bout--YOU!

[Repeat 2X]
Hoo-hoo
Yeah baby!

[Verse 2]
And on those frustrated nights
E-mails that could evoke tears (I like you, I like you)
(I love you, I think I'm dying)
My friend asked me for your e-mail address
She said she'd take it from here
She said she'd tried to walk you through the picture
(He doesn't like you)
But for you nothing is clear (why?)
Now she too is frustrated and damn
That's been a year

[Hook]

[Repeat 2X]
Hoo-hoo
Yeah baby!

[Interlude: Shay]
As you listen to this song
I hope your thought process evolves
It's not your reasoning that's wrong
Its that deep down everything is gone
The place is empty, no lights on
Instead happiness should be sprawled
Across the face of your heart's wall
But you'll press pause and you'll just call
{*phone dialing*} (*FUUUCK*)

[Repeat 2X]
Awww baby, you can't help yourself

[Hook]

[Repeat 2X]
Hoo-hoo
Yeah baby!

YOU~!

The saxophone makes my head hurt

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
