Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey-yeah, yeah, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I don't know why I can't have a good time
I don't know
I don't know why I can't have a good time
I don't, I don't
I don't know why I'm not havin' fun tonight (Yeah)
I've done everything and I still feel alone

Popped some pills, got some head
Bags of weed, wine so red
And I don't know why I can't have a good time
(Oh-uh, I, yeah, yeah, uh-uh-uh)

Bitch, wake up

He doesn't give a fuck anymore, move on
C'mon now
