[Verse 1]
E
Well you come upstairs
But not to talk
You stay a little while
A E
And you do a little walk on home
I hear you downstairs smokin' cigarettes
I hear you talking shit
A E
Cause you ain't got nothin' talk about at all
So you took me to the party
You got me alone
Said you wanna feel good
A
Cause you feel like you're gonna explode
E
Well, I don't care
Can't pay attention
A
And I don't give a damn about your intentions at all
[Chorus]
E A E A
Ooo oo ee ooo
[Verse 2]
E
Well pass me the whiskey, pass me the gin
A
Pass whatever there's drank left in
E
Well I don't care if its seven in the morning
A
For all I care it could be the 2nd coming
E
Well you say you can't take it anymore
You can't live like this
A
It's a really big deal
E
Well I don't care
I can't pay attention
A
And I don't give a fuck about your intentions at all
