Let's Leave
Ida Maria Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's leave
This music hurts my ears
Let's leave
The party's out of beer

Let's leave
I'm seeing two of you
Let's leave

I think that is my cue

These folks are driving me insane
Come on let's lose this ball and chain

Baby, let's stay in
Maybe hit the hay and
Stay in bed all day
Going out is overrated

Baby, let's stay in
Maybe hit the hay and
Stay in bed all day
Going out is overrated

Let's leave
I think I pulled the fire alarm
Let's leave
I might have broken his guitar

Let's leave
I threw a drink in someone's face
Let's leave
Turns out he owns the place

These folks are messing with my brain
Come on, let's lose this ball and chain

Baby, let's stay in
Maybe hit the hay and
Stay in bed all day
Going out is overrated

Baby, let's stay in
Maybe hit the hay and
Stay in bed all day
Going out is overrated

These folks are messing with my brain
Come on, let's lose this ball and chain

Baby, let's stay in
Maybe hit the hay and
Stay in bed all day
Going out is like so overrated

Baby, let's stay in
Maybe hit the hay and

Stay in bed all day
Going out is overrated
