If you were Jason Derulo and your next single's lyrics were this bad, would you do a lyric video?

(Let's not even start on the shit-as-you-like fontology, the ques­tion­able grammar or the drop shadow night­mares we will exper­i­ence forever.)

TOP 5 BAD LYRICS IN THIS SONG
1. "Much more than a Grammy award, that's how much you mean to me"
2. "Like a TV show playing re-runs, every chance I get I'ma turn you on"
3. "Oh yeah"
4. "I've been like a maniac insomniac"
5. "I just wanna rock  all night long and put you the middle of a spotlight"

Clearly the "oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh" bit is amazing though.
