[Verse 1]

I, 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 hollerin'

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

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here

Oh-oh-oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?

Oh-oh-oh here, oh here

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out—

[Verse 2]

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this

An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this

And I know you mean only the best

And your intentions aren't to bother me, but honestly, I'd rather be

Somewhere with my people, we can kick it and just listen to

Some music with a message, like we usually do

And we'll discuss our big dreams, how we plan to take over the planet

So, pardon my manners, I hope you'll understand that I'll be here

Not there in the kitchen

With the girl who's always gossipin' about her friends

So, tell them I'll be here

Right next to the boy who's throwin' up

'Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more

Oh, God, why am I here?

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here

Oh-oh-oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?

Oh-oh-oh here, oh here

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out—

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here

Oh-oh-oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?

Oh-oh-oh here, oh here

And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here

[Outro]

If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah

If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah, yeah

If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah, yeah

If you're ready then I'm ready, yeah, yeah
