Song lyrics

[Chorus: Lily Allen]
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
Love is not a mystery, it's everything.

[Verse 1: Common]
She was the type to watch Oprah and the Today Show,
Be on the treadmill, uh, like OK Go,
Had a body, a body that you can't pay for,
That mean she had some D's on her but they wasn't fake, though.
Had a drive for a drive for Rodeo,
She spent pesos on those labels,
Spin class at the gym, striptease on a pole,
She was so obsessed with her body and clothes.
To every party she goes, tryin' hard to be chose,
They say it's hard for a pimp, but extra hard for these hoes,
Readin' Us and People mag tryna get the scoop,
Chasin' a actor for a Bentley coupe.
She been through the ball player from the Clippers, then came the pumps off,
All thinkin' she number one where she was just a jump-off.
Doin' all she can for a man and a baby,
Drivin' herself crazy like the astronaut lady.

[Chorus: Lily Allen]
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
Love is not a mystery, it's everything.

[Verse 2: Common]
He had paper since we was in high school,
Pop was a doc, mom taught at my school,
Lock with the rocks, in his ears he kept jewels,
One of the Diddy types, the Dame Dash dudes.
Pushed a Maserati sport, readin' the Robb Report,
Wanted to be Mike but he was never live at sports,
Since golf is in, he was on the drivin' course,
To live the rap life is what he was strivin' for.
Spendin' cash at the bar to get credit,
Drinkin' Chandon just because Big said it,
They say Ye is, but dude was big-headed,
Rocked the fur in the summer so somebody'd pet it.
He had a fetish for shoes that's athletic,
Pathetic on his MySpace page half-naked,
It's a shame what they do for fame and to be respected,
Joe, you coulda got it if you never woulda stressed it.

[Chorus: Lily Allen]
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
Love is not a mystery, it's everything.

[Verse 3: Common]
They was one of them couples, people said they were the it,
Unbreakable, like Bobby and Whit,
Or Ryan and Reese, or Kimora and Russ,
Relationships can be dead but look live to us.
I guess we all been through it where we try too much,
Losin' yourself and you're lyin' and stuff,
Wishin' for the diamond cuffs, in search of a ring
Where love is not a mystery, it's everything.

[Chorus: Lily Allen]
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
It's this thing now, that's driving me wild,
I gotta see what's up before it gets me down.
Love is not a mystery, it's everything.

[Outro: Lily Allen]
Gets me down,
Gets me down,
Gets me down,
Gets me down,
Gets me down,
Gets me...
Love is not a mystery, it's everything.
