Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, this song is dedicated
This is Good Charlotte
To every kid who ever got picked last in gym class
You know what I'm saying, this is for you
To every kid who never had a date to no school dance
This is for you
To everyone who's ever been called a freak
Y'all know what I'm saying
This is for you
What?
Here we, here we go
[Intro]
Yeah, uh, what? C'mon
Y'all know what I'm talking about, y'all know what I'm saying
Yeah, what? C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Here we go, oh
Come on, oh
Let's do this
Here we go
[Verse 1]
Like the time in school when we got free lunch, and the cool kids beat us up (Reduced lunch)
And the rich kids had convertibles, and we had to ride the bus (55)
Like the time we made the baseball team, but they still laughed at us (You still suck!)
Like the time that girl broke up with meĀ 'cause I wasn't cool enough, trick!
[PreChorus]
Things, things, here we go (Let's go)
[Chorus]
The little things, little things, they always hang around
The little things, little things, they try to break me down
The little things, little things, they just won't go away
The little things, little things made me who I am today, go
[Refrain]
You wanna hate me now
But I won't stop now
'Cause I can't stop now
[Bridge]
Yeah, what?
C'mon, what?
Yeah, what?
C'mon, c'mon, here we go
[Verse 2]
Like the time mom went to that institute 'cause she was breaking down (I just can't take it)
Like the car we had that wouldn't start, we had to walk to get around (Uh, can I get a ride?)
And that same year on Christmas Eve, Dad went to the store (Uh, see you kids later)
We checked his room, his things were gone, we didn't see him no more, dick!
[PreChorus]
Things, things, here we go (Go)
[Chorus]
The little things, little things, they always hang around
The little things, little things, they try to break me down
The little things, little things, they just won't go away
The little things, little things made me who I am today, go
[Refrain]
You wanna hate me now
But I won't stop now
'Cause I can't stop now
[Bridge]
What, what, what?
Here we go
Here we go, go, go
[Chorus]
The little things, little things, little things, little things
Little things, little things, little things, little things
Little things, little things, little things, little things
Little things, little things, little things, here we go
Oh
Oh
[Outro]
And it always seems those little things, they take the biggest part of me, break down
I'm breaking down,Ā I'm breaking down
Worldwide what-
