[Intro: Isaac Hayes]

I guess right now you've got the last laugh

[Verse 1]

I'm sorry if I seem uninterested

Or I'm not listenin' or I'm indifferent

Truly, I ain't got no business here (I apologize now)

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 (I apologize now)

So, you can go back, please, enjoy your party, I'll be here

[Pre-Chorus]

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 (I apologize)

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-oh-oh, here (I apologize)

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

[Verse 2]

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this

An anti-social pessimist

But usually I don't mess with this (Woah)

And I know you mean only the best (I apologize now)

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 (I apologize now)

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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 (I apologize)

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-oh-oh, here (I apologize)

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

[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 should've 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 (I apologize)

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-oh-oh, here (I apologize)

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

[Outro]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I apologize now)
