Na-na na-na na
Na-na na-na na (uh)
Na-na na-na na (hey)
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it twice

Don't you ever let it go, it's over
'Cause you know I think our lives were better
You bipolar roller-coaster
Say it, say it twice, say it, say it, say it twice
Remember when you shut the fuck up, me neither
I'm still a lil' lil' little loner
When I say, "No", no means hell no, play it solo
Know you are my worst hangover

You find drama when you go low
Baby, I'm crying over you
You got only questions not the answers
'Cause it's never over
Say it, say it twice

I don't even like boys, don't you understand?
You're just not my type, don't you understand?
I don't even like boys, don't you understand?
You're just not my type, don't you understand?

Just give it up, no, just give it up and go down
Give it up, no, I can't believe you got down
Give it up, no, I can't believe you're so down
'Cause we know now, love, love, isn't easy
Just give it up, no, just give it up and go down
Give it up, no, I can't believe you got down
Give it up, no, I can't believe you're so down
'Cause we know now, love, love, isn't easy

Don't you ever let it go, it's over
'Cause I cannot stand your face you bragger
When I say, "No", no means hell no, play it solo
Know you are my worst hangover

You find drama when you go low
Baby, I'm crying out for you
'Cause I'm never never go go
Never go low, drama follows, wherever you go
When I say, "No", no means hell no
It's my motto, piano solo
I can drop the beat so low
I can drop the beat so low
I beat you twice in a row

'Cause you can gamble I'm not even a prize
Kanye loves himself it's all right
You bipolar roller-coaster
Say it, say it twice, say it, say it, say it twice

I don't even like boys, don't you understand?
You're just not my type, don't you understand?
I don't even like boys, don't you understand?
You're just not my type, don't you understand?

Just give it up, no, just give it up and go down
Give it up, no, I can't believe you got down
Give it up, no, I can't believe you're so down
'Cause we know now, love, love, isn't easy
Just give it up, no, just give it up and go down
Give it up, no, I can't believe you got down




Give it up, no, I can't believe you're so down
'Cause we know now, love, love, isn't easy
