Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before
[Chorus]
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
[Verse 2]
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
[Chorus]
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
[Verse 3]
Yes, I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask, that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
[Chorus]
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
[Verse 4]
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before
[Chorus]
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
[Outro]
They only hit until you cry
And after that, you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
