Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm, I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I'm not listening, or I'm indifferent
Truly I ain't got no business here
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it but
Really I would rather be at home all by myself, not in this room
With people who don't even care about my well being
I don't dance, don't ask
I don't need a boyfriend so
You can go back, please enjoy your party, I'll be here
[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the corner, under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who's hollering, I can hardly hear
Over this music I don't listen to
And I don't wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I'll be over here
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, oh, oh, I ask myself, what am I doing here?
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, here
And I can't wait till we can break up out
[Verse 4]
Excuse me
If I seem a little unimpressed with this
An anti-social pessimist but usually I don't mess with this
And I know you mean
Only the best and your intentions aren't to bother me
But honestly I'd rather be
Somewhere with my people, we can
Kick it and just listen to some music with a message like we
Usually do and we'll discuss our big dreams
How we plan to take over the planet, so pardon my manners
I hope you'll understand that I'll be here
Not there in the kitchen with the
Girl who's always gossiping about her friends
So tell them I'll be here
Right next to the boy who's throwing up
'Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more
Oh, God, why am I here?
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, oh, oh, I ask myself, what am I doing here?
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, here
And I can't wait till we can break up out
[Verse 6]
Hours later, congregating next to the refrigerator
Some girl talkin' 'bout her haters, she ain't got none
How did it ever come to this? I should've never come to this
So holler at me, I'll be in the car when you're done
I'm stand offish, don't want what you're offering
And I'm done talking, awfully sad it had to be that way
So tell my people when, they're ready, that I'm ready
And I'm standing by the TV with my beanie low, yo, I'll be over here
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, oh, oh, I ask myself, what am I doing here?
Oh, oh, oh, here
Oh, here
And I can't wait till we can break up out of here
[Verse 8]
If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah, yeah
If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah, yeah
If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah, yeah
If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah, yeah
