Everything I've said up to this point, you can't ignore
Everything I've done, you can't forget
I just realized that I'm talking to an idiot
Yeah, my quota has been filled, okay, I'm set
Put yourself where I am
Take a peak inside
I don't do things just to mess with you
You aren't even on my radar
And hey, I'm not inconsiderate
Believe me, yeah, I care
I just, I, hey, cou, could you slow down?
Would you let me get a word in?
Oh, why you gotta be like that?
I tell you what you want me to
But it never seems quite enough
Oh, why you gotta be like that?
I think that I might not be like that too
Spending every hour, I can't stand to sit alone
Spending every ounce of patience on
The kind of stuff a kindergarten teacher would roll her eyes at
How about you take a look at what I actually said
Put yourself where I am
Do you have a clue?
What a wasted piece of energy
It would be to deal with you
But let me type up my rebuttal
See if I can help you out
I just, ugh, here you go
Here's something else for you to subtweet
Oh, why you gotta be like that?
I try to do what you want me to
But it never seems quite enough
Oh, why you gotta be like that?
I think that I might not be like that too
Come on
Why you gotta be like that? (Be like that)
Try to do what you want me to
But it never seems quite enough
Oh, why you gotta be like that? (Be like that)
Think that I might not be like that too
Come on, now, why? Why you gotta be like that?
I try to do what you want me to
But it never seems quite enough
Oh, why you gotta be like?
Think that I might not be like that too
I got no money
From kind of fame
I ran up my credit cards
Come on, oh, yeah
Ooh, come on it up, yeah
Oh, yeah
