[Verse 1]
Vodka soda and baggy jeans
Using none of that art degree
She's the type to just look at me
Then write me off, write me off in a moment

[Pre-Chorus]
We're in a city full of strangers
But I've got faith and twenty bucks in my pocket
So I said, "DJ, can you play her
That one song that talks about chocolate?"

[Chorus]
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 1975"
And, no lie, that's quite the compliment
But I'm not really looking for somebody tonight
I said, "Girl, I might not be famous yet, but I'm gonna put you in a song that I write"
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 197—, The 1975"

[Verse 2]
I been feeling a little sweet
I got jokes, she don't show her teeth
No, she's not losing a lick of sleep
When she writes me off, breaks me down to my lowest

[Pre-Chorus]
We're in a city full of strangers
It feels like something's up in the air tonight
So I said, "DJ, can you play her
That one song that talks about Caroline?"
[Chorus]
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 1975"
And, no lie, that's quite the compliment
But I'm not really looking for somebody tonight
I said, "Girl, I might not be famous yet, but I'm gonna put you in a song that I write"
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 197—, The 1975"

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
No, you're not The 1975
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Outro]
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 197—, The 1975"
