This is a song about those bad days Start up happy and end up sad days Talking about that Murphy’s law chill If it can go wrong, yes it will

Went to the store to cop some groceries Friday night and I had the munchies Filled the cart till it could not take it One more bag of chips would break it

Went to the cheek out stood in line Behind me a girl who was just too fine Got in the ear while they rang the total Reached for my wallet uh oh a bolo

Not my day I felt like a dummy Went to the store and forgot the money

Oops up inside your head Oops up inside your head Say oops up

Me and amy under the covers Scene is hot potential lovers Demon in the sack is her reputation In school then she is graduation

Touching holding heavy breathing I knew I’d get it she is not about teasing Left on the light so I could see reaction Amy is a freak guaranteed satisfaction

She is soft as bubble bath I am as hard as chinese math Ready for the ultimate affection Took out a pack obtain my protection

Rolled it on one hard stroke It was my last and yes it broke

Oops up inside your head Oops up inside your head Say oops up
