Verse 1

They love to see a come-up, but they hate to see you make it

They love to watch the show, but they hate to see you take it

I know you proud of me, you ain't gotta even say it

And I'm not easily offended, so you can say it

People sayin' that I'm gettin' older, yeah, older

People sayin' that we're gettin' closer, yeah, closer

But I know that ain't the case, you know, yeah

Yeah, I'm just goin' by the numbers

It's the only way I've grown

Yeah, I'm just goin' by the numbers

It's the only way I've known

Yeah, I'm just goin' by the numbers

It's the only way I
