Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about you
I don't want to hear it
Cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear it
I'm sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear it
When are you gonna realize

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it

I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about you
I don't want to hear it
'cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear it
I'm sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear it
When are you gonna realize

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it

Shut your fucking mouth
I don't care what you say
You keep talking
You're talking everyday
First you're telling story
Then you're telling lies
When the fuck are you gonna realize

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit

I don't want to hear it
Ah! Shut up!
