lyrics
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
my heart has hiccups, there's no relief
i'm eating salad and speaking my peace
i'm yelling "yo" outside your building at night
they call me Yo Guy
they call the police
i exercise so much to get you off my mind
i tried to cut my hair just like the band you like
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
my heart's head is getting a headache
i'm getting nauseous and puking up flowers
i hit my head on something twice in a row
i got a papercut from digging through your trash
i exercise so much to get you off my mind
i tried to cut my hair just like the band you like
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
i liked it better when you were standing next to me
yo
shut the fuck up!
