[English]

I'm not gonna talk about love on a Brooklyn rooftop

What a waste of time

These drinks I've been throwin' down out and up to it, Lord

For a Monday night

Tired of givin' all that I get (tired of givin' all that I get)

Tired of thinkin' that's all I feel (tired of thinkin' that's all I feel)

Gotta make a change while I can (gotta make a change while I can)

I don't mind if you don't like it

Rippin' through this town, callin' all my ex-girlfriends

Blowin' all my money, throw it all away

Burnin' down my house, I'm a brand new person

Tryna get closer to feelin' every day

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

I'm not gonna talk about love in the Hollywood Hills

Such a waste of time (mm-hmm, mm)

Never think about you and what your friends say about me

We're all gonna die

Rippin' through this town, callin' all my ex-girlfriends

Blowin' all my money, throw it all away

Burnin' down my house, I'm a brand new person

Tryna get closer to feelin' every day

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

...

Tired of givin' all that I get (tired of givin' all that I get)

Tired of thinkin' that's all I feel (tired of thinkin' that's all I feel)

Gotta make a change while I can (gotta make a change while I can)

I don't mind if you don't like it

Rippin' through this town, callin' all my ex-girlfriends

Blowin' all my money, throw it all away

Burnin' down my house, I'm a brand new person

Tryna get closer to feelin' every day

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

A little, little less, care a little, little less

...
