(I guess right now you've got the last laugh)

I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I'm not listenin' 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.
(Hoo-oohh!) Somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana (Hoo-oohh!)
With this boy who's hollerin', I can hardly hear. (Hoo-oohh!)
(Hoo-oohh!) Over this music I don't listen to, and I don't wanna get with you (Hoo-oohh!)
So tell my friends that I'll be over here. (Hoo-oohh!)

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh
I ask myself what am I doin' here?!
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up outa here!

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 the 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 it
That I'll be here.
(Hoo-oohh!) Not there in the kitchen with the girl (Hoo-oohh!)
Who's always gossipin' about her friends. (Hoo-oohh!)
So tell them I'll be here
(Hoo-oohh!) Right next to the boy who's throwin' up 'cause. (Hoo-oohh!)
He can't take what's in his cup no more (Hoo-oohh!)
Oh God, why am I here? (Hoo-oohh!)

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh
I ask myself what am I doin' here?!
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up outa here!

Hours later, congregating next to the refrigerator
Some girl's talkin' 'bout her haters!
She ain't got none
How did it ever come to this?!
I shoulda never come to this
So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done!
I'm standoffish, don't want what you're offerin'
And 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 standin' 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 ask myself what am I doin' here?!
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up outa here!

Oh-ohh, oh-ohh
Oh-ohh, oh-ohh.
