about

"Here we go again / You say you'll be a friend / Well, maybe I could pretend / But I'm not feelin' that."

A song about a hypothetical 'happy' break-up.

lyrics

Well, here we go again, - you say you’ll be a friend
Well, maybe I could pretend, but I’m not feeling that.

Not saying it was you, but a combination of the two
All I’m saying is it could have been better.

And I’m not even feeling down, down at all
In fact I’ve turned up my nose at your picture on my wall.

And I don’t mind your face or even your embrace
But I’d be lying if I stuck with you.

(Chorus)
It’s all right; I can fight on my lonesome
I don’t care how you fare cause I got none
Of my patience left for you

So up and leave, I believe I will do just fine
Just take a walk on your own and soon you will find
A hole left by your side, while I’m singing out:

(Post-Chorus)
Oh oh oh…
Reasons why go on and on
Oh oh oh…
So baby, I’m gone.

My friends say “about time”, - they said they liked you they lied
You were just too high-class-snob for them

And now I see their point, with each and every retort
That you send my way, hey!

Frankly, I like being lazy; I’m no Patrick Swayze
I’m a low-key crazy when I want to be

So, I’m going out tonight; riding solo will be nice
Just another reminder that I don’t need you.

(Chorus)

(Post-Chorus)
Oh oh oh…
I won’t pick up the telephone
Oh oh oh…
So, hang up before the tone
Oh oh oh…
Reasons why go on and on
Oh oh oh…
So baby, I’m gone

(A Capella Out)
