Pay Us No Mind
The Staves Lyrics

Easy come, easy go
Things that you don't work hard for can be lost easily without much regret.

Tell me things I want to know
I want to hear what I like to hear, not necessarily what's true.

Drink until your lips are black
Keep drinking alcohol until you're completely numb and lose control.

You’ve given things you'll never get back
You've lost something valuable or precious, and there is no way of getting it back.

Oh, you silly thing
Referring to someone who has made a foolish or naive decision.

Cold sheets of linen
Referring to a bed that has been left cold and untouched, no love or warmth.

Doomed from the beginning
This relationship has no future or hope from the very start.

Do what you will
Do whatever you want, I don't care anymore and I won't stop you.

Leave the worry to the women
Women are expected to handle or worry about things that men don't want to deal with.

That's our game to play
It's a common role that society often shapes us into, the women worrying about the smallest things while men escape.

But, oh
Introducing a new idea or thought to the conversation.

We will say anything
We will not hold back, and we are not afraid to speak our minds.

Pay us no mind
Ignore us, and don't listen to what we say.

You were right and I was wrong
I admit that I made a mistake, and you were correct in your judgement.

To tarry here for far too long
I should have left this place or situation earlier, and not stayed for such a long time.

Pick me up
Help me, support me, or give me a hand.

Wish me luck
I hope for good luck and blessings in the future ahead.

Fare thee well, I don't give a fuck anymore
Goodbye, I don't care anymore, and I'm leaving without looking back.

And I wouldn't mind
I won't take any offense, even if you say something hurtful or unpleasant.

Think of me, sweet Anthony, in private disarray
Reflect on my state of confusion or disorder, but keep it to yourself, Anthony.

I never needed sympathy, I only want to say
I don't want others to feel bad for me, I just need to speak my mind.

That I'm not afraid to shout, I'm not afraid to tell
I'm not scared to speak up and make my voice heard.

And we're ready now to give them all hell
We're prepared to stand up for ourselves and unleash our full force.

And you always said it's every man for himself
You always believed that everyone looks out for themselves first before helping others.

Ah
A filler word with no specific meaning, usually used to express emotion or emphasis.

Oh, oh
A sound of surprise, excitement, or impatience.

Ooh
A sound of appreciation and enjoyment, usually in response to something pleasing.
