about
"Ass Like That 2" is the unnecessary indie sequel to Eminem's 2004 hit of a similar name. Despite its goofy name and puppet-themed artwork and music video, the song tells a sincere, candid tale of love, lust, loss, and ass. At its core, this indie pop jam is about self-love and forgiveness, and its oddly touching music video (dir. Dan Bauer) can be found on YouTube or at danbauermusic.com.
lyrics
Can we make it a dream, baby,
When I told you to leave, baby?
‘Cause it just don’t feel the same.
What a skin to need some shedding,
That I thought I needed to question
If I loved the eyes behind the frames.
The choosing me over all the douches,
The biiiiig, fat smooches,
And a bit, fat something else.
And even if you were just the usual,
Not a face so beautiful,
You could make a heart melt.
But I threw it away,
All the beautiful days
And the future.
(Chorus)
I’ll never find someone who laughs like that,
Works out and gets an ass like that,
Always has my back
And’s in the mood for some “mmmhh” behavior.
Someone who buys me flights
To all the cool places I like.
Looking back I think you might
Have been my savior.
Can we make it a dream, baby,
‘Cause I’ve had like three “baby”s
Since you left and they just ain’t the same.
If I was belting it out and shredding
Or off-key and forgetting
The words you’d still say I sounded great.
You make top-shelf seem store-brand,
Someone’s king, but I feel like a poor man.
And now I’m shackled to your memory.
I’ve tried ‘em super cutesy,
Oopsie doopsie, and loosey goosey.
But nothing’s ever gonna be
What I threw away.
All the beautiful days
And the future.
(Chorus)
Oh, I threw it away,
All the beautiful days
And the future.
And now I’m someone…
Who’s looking kinda rough,
Getting lazy, growing out the scruff.
Eating shit ‘cause life’s been tough.
Buddy, this ain’t good behavior.
Well, maybe if I take a stand,
Realize I’m just a fucking man
Doing the god damn best I can,
I might find it in me
To put in the labor…
To be someone who laughs like that
Works out and gets an ass like that,
Always has my back
And’s in the mood for some “mmmhh” behavior.
Someone who buys me flights
To all the cool places I like.
Looking back I think I might
Have been my savior.
(Chorus)-ish
… Just gotta be someone who laughs like that.
