lyrics

My eyes dart, but I know I shouldn't start. So I enjoy the boys like works of art, and remind myself to be smart.

Newness is nice, but everything that's new gets old.
What you gonna do when his swag starts to drag and the heat gets cold?
I prefer the ease of knowing how to please after months and months have passed,
because newness is nice, but newness doesn't last.

So I enjoy the boys like works of art, and remind myself to be smart.

Newness is nice, but everything that's new gets stale.
What you gonna do when the paint peels and the engines start to fail?
I prefer to pursue the tried and true than stumble with the uninitiated,
because newness is nice, but newness is overrated.

So I enjoy the boys like works of art, and remind myself to be smart.

Newness is nice, but I prefer a known quantity,
because comfort and convenience are everything to me.
I prefer the quid pro quo from the devil that I know to the devil that I do not...
because newness sure is nice, but I'll stick with what I've got.
