Paolo Nutini - Numpty lyrics

Hey, la, la, la, la
Building a house so we can
Fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But, I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!

Hmm, now that I'm young I just do what I do
I don't second guess too much
Shed my ties and I'm not that wise
I'm all grown up as such
But all the talk about the ring and the baby
Gets me every time am I big enough
Strong enough to walk along your line?
Yeah, baby building a house so we can
Fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But, I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!

You see, I'm always on the hustle
That I don't know just how good I get it
That it's plenty of men out
There with money and muscle
Look at these hips, baby
Don't you forget them
Oh, but the curls will go
The money will spend
What we left within the end?
She's more than happy, she's taken her play
I'm saying
'who's that bitch with my second name? '

Oh, he's building a house so we
Can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But, I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!

Yeah, baby, truth be told
I'm only trying to keep my
Head above the water
Responsibility, turn on monogamy
I'm not a father, child
Are you a mother, are you?
Uh, my pride and joy
Yeah, you, you are my pride and joy!

Oh, building a house so we can
Fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But, I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
Yeah, baby building a house so we can
Fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But, I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
But, I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
But, I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
Yeah, ooh ooh
Ooh yeah
