Lyrics to Fluff by Nylon Pink

Verse 1

Lets not pretend I’m a fool

You twist around like a tool

You sound just like

a radio voice

Sucker machine

with no choice

If you think what you say is true, you must be confused

Chorus

I’m going crazy why do you want me to sit and listen while you tell another lie?

Hope that your vision helps your decision. watch as i walk out as you’re setting up

Fluluff, full of fluff, fluluf. stories are big enough. stop cause you made it!

Verse 2

Look like the type that wouldn’t care.

You’re a pop top, tattooed, twisted hair

You sound just like

a radio voice

Your babbles just

annoying noise

Wheres the man that i once knew? what’ve you turned into?

Chorus

I’m going crazy why do you want me to sit and listen while you tell another lie?

Hope that your vision helps your decision. watch as i walk out as you’re setting up

Fluluff, full of fluff, fluluf. stories are big enough. stop cause you made it!

Bridge

What would you do, you were the man I knew

What would I do, I’ve heard it all before

What would you do, you were the man I knew (harmony)

What would you do

Fluff, you’re a fluff

You’re full of fluff

You’re a fluff

Chorus

I’m going crazy why do you want me to sit and listen while you tell another lie?

Hope that your vision helps your decision. watch as i walk out as you’re setting up

Fluluff, full of fluff, fluluf. stories are big enough. Your full of it!

Fluluff, full of fluff, fluluf. stories are big enough

Ad libs

No No No uh uh No No No uh uh

No No No uh uh No No No

You made it up up up You made it up up up

You made it up up up You made it up up up
