Here

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

Somewhere in the corner over here just where I wanna

With this boy who's hollerin', I can hardly hear

Over this music I don't listen to

And I don't wanna hang with you

So tell my friends that I'll be over here

Oh-oh-oh, here, oh-oh-oh, here

Oh-oh-oh, I asked myself, "What am I doin' here?"

Oh-oh-oh, here, oh-oh-oh, here

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this

An antisocial 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

Pardon my manners

I hope you'll understand that I'll be here

Not there in the kitchen

With the girl who's always gossipin' about her friends

Oh, tell them I'll be here

Right next to the boy I'm giving up

'Cause I can't take him saying stuff no more

Oh no, why am I here?

Oh-oh-oh, here, oh-oh-oh, here

Oh-oh-oh, I asked myself, "What am I doin' here?"

Oh-oh-oh, here, oh-oh-oh, here

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here

Hours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator

Some girl's talkin' 'bout a hater, she ain't got none

How did it ever come to this?

I should've never come to this

So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done

I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin'

I'm done talkin', 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

Oh-oh-oh, here, oh-oh-oh, here

Oh-oh-oh, I asked myself, "What am I doin' here?"

Oh-oh-oh, here, oh-oh-oh, here

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
