Worst Behaviour
Tove Lo & Alma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another year wasted on endless work
They don't know my worth
Another year wasted on stupid jerks
I rip off my shirt
I am done, I'm sick, of hearing it
I am done, fed up, ain't having it
Another year wasted on endless work
They don't know my worth

Around and around and around and around
Pour me another round
'Round and around and around and around
Keep 'em coming till I hit the ground

You better stay home tonight
'Cause I'm on my worst behavior
You better stay home tonight
'Cause I'm on my worst behavior
She on her worst
If you wanna go, then go hard
This is not a night for weak hearts
If you wanna go then go hard

I don't really care what you think of me
Kinda my thing, baby
You don't need to judge how I blow off steam
Like you live perfectly
I am done, I'm sick of hearing it
I am done, fed up, ain't having it
I don't really care what you think of me
I don't care what you think of me

'Round and around and around and around
Pour me another round
Round and around and around and around
Keep 'em coming till I hit the ground

You better stay home tonight
'Cause I'm on my worst behavior
You better stay home tonight
'Cause I'm on my worst behavior
(She on her worst)
If you wanna go, then go hard
This is not a night for weak hearts
If you wanna go, then go hard

I go round and around and around and around
Pour me another round




'Round and around and around and around
Keep 'em coming till I hit the ground
