Not Gonna Be There

You think I'm the kind of fool

Who waits by the phone for hours

And your friends are posting pictures from the strip club

Said tonight that it would only be us

I don't care, I'm not gonna be there

At noon, when you sober up

Too messed up to take a shower

Oh, who will babysit you through the weekend?

Hold your hand when you go off the deep end?

I don't care, I'm not gonna be there

When you wake up

You're gonna wish you had me

When we break up

Who's gonna make you happy?

When you're out all night and need a ride

Who's gonna take you home?

I don't know, I don't care

I'm not gonna be there

I thought that you were the one

How could I be so stupid?

When you tattooed my name on your shoulder

Was I naive to think that we'd grow older?

I don't care, I'm not gonna be there

When you wake up

You're gonna wish you had me

When we break up

Who's gonna make you happy?

When you're out all night and need a ride

Who's gonna take you home?

I don't know, I don't care

I'm not gonna be there

When you wake up

You're gonna wish you had me

When we break up

Who's gonna make you happy?

When you've lost your phone, all alone

Who's gonna know you're gone?

I don't know, I don't care

I'm not gonna be there

You can kiss any girl that you want

In the bar singing with your friends

Go to Vegas and gamble

Get wasted, arrested, and lose or win

And forget 'bout my birthday again

And again, and again, and again

But I don't care, I'm not gonna be there

When you wake up

You're gonna wish you had me

When we wake up

Who's gonna make you happy?

Baby, I don't mind, I'll be fine

Who's gonna take your side?

I don't know, I don't care

I'm not gonna be there

When you wake up

You're gonna wish you had me

When we break up

Who's gonna make you happy?

When you've lost your phone, all alone

Who's gonna know you're gone?

I don't know, I don't care

I'm not gonna be there
