Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
[Verse 1]
I am busy and important
I am busy and important
You wanna bill me for it
My love, that's up to you
Are you feeling like I'm feeling?
Are you feeling like I'm feeling?
I used to be freewheeling
Now I got work to do, yeah
[Chorus]
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
[Verse 2]
Easy to say that you thought it
Easy to say that you thought it
But I'm the one who said it
Give up your second-guessing
I can't wrap my head around it
I can't wrap my head around it
I'll get around to do it
I've got some plans tonight, but
[Chorus]
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
[Bridge]
I haven't done my, done my, nails in a minute
Minute, minute
I haven't done my nails in a minute
Cash my check, got, my check, got, check
Got, my check, got paid, yeah, I did it, d-d-d-d-did it
I haven't done my, done my, nails in a minute
Minute, minute
[Chorus]
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
I'll make up my face in a minute
I'll reform this state in a minute
Cash my check, got paid, yeah, I did it
I haven't done my nails in a minute
