There are things I wish you'd do more often
Like laugh and talk to me
I understand that everybody's got their problems
But you seem to have a little more than anybody

And there are things I think we'll come to regret
And the majority of them are dealing with me
And there are things I know you've come to expect
But right now, believe me, believe me
Show me some respect

And I know that you know me like nobody else
It's just hard to explain, I like to be by myself
And it's like having a question but no one will help
And you're just one of those books, there's a lot on the shelf

And there are things that we could do to make ourselves stand out
But we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't

And there are things I wish you wouldn't take from me
Like my cellphone, my wallet, my car keys, and my dignity
I know you think that we've had too much to drink
But I haven't, let it go, let it be, let me enjoy the party
And there are things I think we'll come to regret
And the majority of them are dealing with me
And there's a few things you've come to expect
But right now, believe me, believe me
Show me some respect

And I know that you know me like nobody else
It's just hard to explain, I like to be by myself
And it's like having a question but no one will help
And you're just one of those books, and there's a lot on the shelf

And there are things that we could do to make ourselves stand out
But we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't

There are things I wish you'd do more often
Like laugh, talk to me
I understand that everybody's got their problems
But you seem to have a little more than anybody

And there are things I think we'll come to regret
And the majority of them are dealing with me
And there are things I think you've come to expect
But right now, believe me, believe me
Show me some respect
And I know that you know me like nobody else
It's just hard to explain, I like to be by myself
And it's like having a question but no one will help
And you're just one of those books and there's a lot on the shelf

And there are things that we could do to make ourselves stand out
But we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
No, we won't; no, we won't
