[English]

Don't go back to his ass, that shit is a trap

It never lasts, so don't go back to his ass

Oh-oh, you're here again

Cryin' in your bed at 6 p.m.

The city sounds like gin and tonic and old friends from college

And somethin' sad and honest opinions

And olives, and he's probably with a girl (hate to break it to ya)

And she's probably playin' with her pearls and noddin' violently at everything he says

He loves that, oh God, you're cryin' again

Just shut the window and remember what I said

Don't go back to his ass, that shit is a trap

It never lasts, so don't go back to his ass

Much better to laugh from just where you're sat

I don't know, it's hard, I know he's funny

But baby, don't go back to his ass

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Oh, remember when he made you feel like he wouldn't fidget if you were dead in the ditches

And all his exes were bitches, his boss was just out to get him

Oh man, we just shoulda let him, don't you think? Oh, please

If you're gonna be in bed all night, it really should be fun

But every sappy movie makes you feel like he's the one (he's the one)

But he's not (but he's not)

'Cause if he was (if he was)

He wouldn't say, "I love you," then run, so

Don't go back to his ass, that shit is a trap

It never lasts, so don't go back to his ass

Much better to laugh from just where you're sat

I don't know, it's hard, I know he's pretty

But baby, don't go back to his ass

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da, da-da-da

Girl, you're so much better than that

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Leave my friend alone

Go fetch it, it's a bone

You were never worth the time or mind (ah)

So please forgive the tone, but I hate the second we're alone

You looked down to check your phone

Or the crinkle in your eye when I don't fake laugh at all your joke (ah)

I'm not buyin' what you're sellin', I'm sure you'd love it if I did

And I bet you wonder if I'm jealous, if you were flippin' me in bed (ah)

Just know, when you realize you lost her

That it's certainly for good

'Cause I got her locked up in a cell, I'm screamin' in her face my famous words

Don't go back to his ass, that shit is a trap

All breaks, no gas, just don't go back to his ass

Much better to laugh from just where you're sat

I know, it's hard

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, na-na-na-na, na-na-na

Oh, la-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
