I'm sorry if I seem uninterested Or I'm not listenin', 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 I ask myself, what am I doin' here? Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Tell me they love it, they want me, they need me Surrounded inside of this room by the gritty It seems like these women is needy But all they've been wantin' and needin' is money She callin' me honey, I know that she lyin' And all she want from me is everything high end The ladder, the ladder, she love it, she climbin' above it The higher she gets, she gets no vision from it The second she plummets she's gon' be right here The second she plummets she's gon' be right here At the bottom with killers and dealers Now they say that diamonds' forever but never explain That the diamonds fillin' up your safe cannot fill up the pain I hope you'll understand that I'll be here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here? Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
Hours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator Some girl talkin' '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 offerin' And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready And I'm standin' by the TV with my beanie low Yo I'll be over here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here? Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
