[Interlude: Eminem]
You know, I'm wearin'✦ a new shirt tonight✦ too
With me on it
[Verse 2: Eminem]
I'm lookin'✦ at your tight rear like a sightseer
Your booty✦ is heavy✦ duty✦ like diarrhea
The plan's to bring you to my house
You're drinkin'✦ Jack and Beam
I'm thinkin'✦ soon this tramp'll lean so we should bounce
But you're outta✦ your tube-top
If you're thinkin'✦ that mi casa✦ es su casa✦
Yeah, you're a cute fox
Perfect ten so back that up like a moonwalk
Girl, you're smokin'✦ like Snoop Dogg
But you must be tokin'✦ if you think you're takin'✦ over✦ my quarters
There goes the dime into✦ the jukebox
Two shots of blue Hpnotiq and soon I'll
Turn this pool hall to a barroom brawl
So, Rick, scratch on the break like the cue ball
Turn the volume✦ all the way up on your boombox
And excuse✦ the locker✦ room talk, I'm just too raw
But apparently, so are you, ma
'Cause you just kicked✦ me in the balls and told me to screw off
And that's why—
[Chorus: Eminem / Joan Jett & the Blackhearts]
I love you, 'cause you remind✦ me of me
That's why I love you, 'cause you're like me (Yeah, me)
I said I love you, 'cause you remind✦ me of me
That's why I love you, 'cause you're like me, nasty✦ (Yeah, me)
[Bridge: Eminem & Joan Jett & The Blackhearts]
Said "Can I take you home, where we can be alone?"✦
Shorty,✦ you the shit, girl, I ordered✦ you to sit
I know you're probably feelin'✦ me more than you admit✦
Pull up a chair, sweetie, let me order✦ you a drink
I only✦ go to meetings court-ordered✦ from a shrink
So from the bottom✦ to the top, floor to ceilin'✦
You ain't run of the mill, you're one in a million
'Cause real tits are still fun
But everybody knows fake tits are still better✦ than real ones✦
[Verse 3: Eminem]
So come and spend the night with the guy most are terrified of
But tonight,✦ curiosity overrides ya
Beside✦ ya fired✦ up like a starter pistol✦
Crystal, let's slide hon, tonight✦ I'm your pilot
'Cause you should be up in the sky, girl
You're so fucking fly, you belong✦ in the mile high club
So come on, baby,✦ the night's young
Don't string me along,✦ I'm high-strung
We might wind up on mound like we're tryin' for the Cy Young
Fuckin'✦ 'fore we get to the house
Screwin' our brains out like changing a lightbulb
That's why I like ya, 'cause I'm crazy✦ just like ya
Now every✦ time I get brain, you screw mine up
I barely✦ can think straight, your head game is a mindfuck
So ready,✦ set, aim and fire
Yes, babe, I’m fallin'✦ in like, that's kinda,✦ why I love
[Chorus: Eminem / Joan Jett & the Blackhearts]
I love you, 'cause you remind✦ me of me
That's why I love you, 'cause you're like me (Yeah me)
I said I love you, 'cause you remind✦ me of me
That's why I love you, 'cause you're like me, nasty✦ (Yeah, me)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
The verse functions as a comedic, narrative-driven exercise in rhyme-chain density, trading high-concept lyrical depth for rapid-fire phonetic play, consistent with Eminem's stylistic focus on the 'Revival' era's self-aware, pun-heavy humor.
