I turned thirteen, I can keep company
He comes over and sits with me
We watch movies, go online
Under strict parental guidance

Everyday that's how we be
Had all his attention on me
'Til my pops got me that new PlayStation 3
And a twenty inch flat HD

That's why I, I hate Madden
That's why I, I hate Madden

'Cause that joystick
Messed around and took my boyfriend
Them games be makin' me so sick
'Cause I can't compete
It's either me or that TV

Put down that joystick
Messed around and took my boyfriend
Them games be makin' me so sick
'Cause I can't compete
He don't come just to see me

That's why I, I hate Madden
That's why I, I hate Madden, oh

I was cool, we'd share it at first
You know how I'm takin’ this personal
Hands on my hip, muggin', neck rollin'
Snatched the controller, game over

He was cool but he flipped on me
Now I see how it's gon' be
Tried to act up, put his card like a school ID
Made him bounce, he don't really want me

That's why I, I hate Madden
That's why I, I hate Madden

'Cause that joystick
Messed around and took my boyfriend
Them games be makin' me so sick
'Cause I can't compete
It's either me or that TV

Put down that joystick
Messed around and took my boyfriend
Them games be makin' me so sick
'Cause I can't compete
He don't come just to see me

That's why I, I hate Madden
That's why I, I hate Madden, oh

Mr. No Good, video game addicted
The type that I should have known not to mess with
I had his heart, his number one chick
So he couldn't have been that committed

It's like I wasn't even in the room
He was all up in that tick, tick, boom
How you 'gon worry 'bout [Incomprehensible]
All I'm sayin', you really should have put this thing first

'Cause that joystick
Messed around and took my boyfriend
Them games be makin' me so sick
'Cause I can't compete
It's either me or that TV

Put down that joystick
Messed around and took my boyfriend
Them games be makin' me so sick
'Cause I can't compete
He don't come just to see me

That's why I, I hate Madden
That's why I, I hate Madden
That's why I, I hate Madden
That's why I, I hate Madden, oh
