Omar’s got a problem
he can’t sit up straight
he won’t sit up straight
Omar is a problem
he can’t pay attention
he won’t pay attention
his mind wanders back and forth
between the good and the bad
the ugly and beautiful ones
the delirious and sad
the good and the bad
the ugly and the beautiful ones
all the ones who’ve got what Omar doesn’t have
Omar’s got a problem
he can’t understand you
he can hardly understand you
Omar is a problem
he drools on his algebra
he’s drooling on his algebra
and all this time he don’t even know
Chorus
Omar makes you rethink
every little thing
you ever thought about the world
Omar sees you looking
right through him and thinks to himself
Papa wasn’t a glass maker
Mama says I’m beautiful
Omar’s got a problem
he can’t stop staring
at the senior girl’s breasts
Omar is a problem
he can’t even imagine
will ever only imagine
the taste of that
warm sweet breath
Chorus
