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 under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who's hollering I can hardly hear
Over this music I don't listen to and I don't wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I'll be over here

Oh, oh, oh, here, oh, oh, oh, here, oh, oh, oh
I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh, oh, oh, here, oh, oh, oh, here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up outta 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
Not there in the kitchen with the girl
Who's always gossiping about her friends
So tell them I'll be here
Right next to the boy who's throwing up 'cause
He can't take what's in his cup no more
Oh God why am I here?

Oh, oh, oh, here, oh, oh, oh, here, oh, oh, oh
I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh, oh, oh, here, oh, oh, oh, here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up outta here

Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator
Some girl's talking 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 stand-offish, don't want what you're offering
And I'm done talking
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 ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh, oh, oh, here, oh, oh, oh, here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up outta here

If you're ready, then I'm ready, yeah...
