Lyrics:

[Intro: Priscilla Renea]
Seems like your heart stops workin
The minute they close the curtain
You take off your mask
And take off your costume
And if anyone asks youre
Taking a smoke break, you
Drinking some coffee
But everyone knows what youre doin
Seems like the bus moves slower
Just cause you got somewhere to go, so
You take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But if anyone asks youve
Got a prescription, you
Got an addiction
Who do you think that youre foolin?

[Hook: Priscilla Renea]
John Doe
I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1: B.o.B]
Ah
Errybodys addicted to somethin
Errybody got a grip onto somethin
Even if its just to feel the response of appeal
Maybe once, maybe twice
Maybe hundreds of times, hundreds of times
Without it, its just harder to function at times
You race to the bottom of every single bottle
As if there was someone or somethin to find
You struggle in your mind
And you tell yourself lie after lie
Til you get to the point where its no longer private
The people that you work with notice the signs
When you walk in the room it gets noticeably quiet
So you break up the silence
You say youve been at the gym
But the way that you look, cant blame on the diet
So what you hidin?

[Hook: Priscilla Renea]
John Doe
I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2: B.o.B]
Yeah
I probably had too many things
Smashed too many freaks
Had too much to dro...
I mean, had too much to drink
Left the club, ended up in custody
Random drug test, passed it luckily
My girl broke up with me cause she walked in suddenly
With a woman up under me
I told her Wait!
It aint what it look like!
I mustve slipped and fell, clumsy me!
Well at least I admit it
Cause the worst you could do is to do it and not be man enough to say that you did it
Thats just how you prevent it
Well I aint no different, I love all the money, the fame and the parties with beautiful women
I spent so much time as a underground artist cause I was afraid to succumb to the business
And what Id become
But that what youd judge you become
The path with the greatest resistance
Thats how the tables can turn, when they pivot and change your perspective and flip your entire position
My whole life Ive been dyin and wishin to live and experience everything possible
When I told them my dreams, they just said they aint logical, now I can see it, its optical

[Hook: Priscilla Renea]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oooooh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
