I'm just too good looking (for this to happen)

(Sometimes, It's hard you know, being this damn good looking) Cute since a baby and on through my teens, kids on the street asking where had I been Realising once at school, the girls all now a flutter Some of them knowing they're just no good, go date that kid with the stutter For I am talk of the year, the boys wanting some of the action Not in a way of fancy or love, just for the girls to have a reaction A riot on his first week called freshers, talk of the town in his uni years, Sleeping around, knowing who's with who, he knows he'll fit right in here 5 years gone, a first in his topic, so popular no matter what he's done Time to grow up, whats around the corner when leaving this fun A model like wife, 3 kids and CEO at Nike,  one of Gods special people And then it creeps up, a story of such luck, his situation as sticky as treacle Uni funds all corrupt, a loophole in what he hadn't figured, Some things you really shouldn't trigger Was a good idea at the time, his 3 friends didn't mind, one over on the Government, it doesn't get much bigger But that wasn't to be, 6 months in would be sore, just for a little tax evasion Up in court, 2 years was the score, this really wasn't part of his equation Cheekbones chiselled with the looks of a model The wing leaders gather round, excited in a huddle He had heard the stories of what could happen being trapped in prison, But seriously guys, I'm just too good looking (for this to happen) JJB
