Hot Mess Lyrics by Rob Carlile

Mentally Illmatic

2022

[Verse 1]
Look at the cut of you
Look at the cut of your jib
My god, do you improve the view
You do, you do
And if you do that
What else should you have to
Old friends don't talk to you (so what?)
Old lovers hate your guts (so what?)
You'll always find somebody new
It's true, it's true
And when you look good
Well, the world looks good too
[Chorus]
Hey!
You leave lipstick smear stains
Nicotine and beer stains
And tear stains everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
But in those shoes, and that hair
And the rest (yes!)
You're a hot mess
You don't play the part straight
All the heels and hearts brеak
You don't know what you don't know (what you don't know)
In those shoes, and that hair
And the rеst (yes!)
You're a hot mess
[Verse 2]
Some folks live in the past
And bear the weight of their wrongs
Keep on the move
Don't let your past catch up to you
Cos if you never learn
You'll be young 'til you're through
Some people look ahead (so what?)
Look far enough and you're dead (so what?)
They think it matters what they do
It's true, they do
But when you mean zip
Well, the world means zip too
[Chorus]
You leave lipstick smear stains
Nicotine and beer stains
And tear stains everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
But in those shoes, and that hair
And the rest (yes!)
You're a hot mess
You don't play the part straight
All the heels and hearts break
You don't know what you don't know (what you don't know)
In those shoes, and that hair
And the rest (yes!)
You're a hot mess
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
You leave lipstick smear stains
Nicotine and beer stains
And tear stains everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
But in those shoes, and that hair
And the rest (yes!)
You're a hot mess
You don't play the part straight
All the heels and hearts break
You don't need to know
What you don't want to know (what you don't know)
In those shoes, and that hair
And the rest (yes!)
You're a hot mess
