Pain, pain, pain,
I know you got brains, brain, brains.
Not a thing to gain,
From this pain.
My kidneys, my d and my brain,
Ain't no lames up in the grove,
Just a lot of addictive energy,
Nothing to gain.
Pain, pain, pain,
I know you got brains, brain, brains.
Not a thing to gain,
From this pain.
Taking medicine, took my scripts,
Even down to her hips.
Loving on this beat,
Kissing on her lips.
Pain, pain, pain,
I know you got brains, brain, brains.
Not a thing to gain,
From this pain.

So much fun in the studio with Mark's new song. Written and recorded in Berlin, Germany.

Here are the lyrics:

[Verse]
Don't put your mouth on my soul
You're not the one I need to hold
But I like the way you dress
And you really turn me on
But you're just not her
Don't wanna get hurt

[Verse 2]
You're just not it
It's hard to admit
But you're just not her
Don't wanna get hurt

[Chorus]
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right

[Bridge]
She looks good in my shirt
And she really knows how to flirt
But you're just not her
Don't wanna get hurt
You're just not it
It's hard to admit
But you're just not her
Don't wanna get hurt

[Chorus]
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right
Almost you
But not quite right
Not quite right
Not quite right

Almost You
