[Written by Alessia Cara & Sebastian Kole] [Produced by Pop & Oak and Sebastian Kole] [Intro] I guess right now you've got the last laugh [Verse 1] I'm sorry if I seem uninterested Or I'm not listenin' or I'm indifferent Truly I ain't got no business here But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it But really I would rather be at home all by myself Not in this room With people who don't even care about my well-being I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend So you can go back, please, enjoy your party I'll be here Somewhere in the corner Under clouds of marijuana With this boy who's hollering I can hardly hear Over this music I don't listen to And I don't wanna get with you So tell my friends that I'll be over here [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here? Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here [Verse 2] Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this And I know you mean only the best And your intentions aren't to bother me But honestly I'd rather be Somewhere with my people We can kick it and just listen to Some music with a message, like we usually do And we'll discuss our big dreams How we plan to take over the planet So pardon my manners I hope you'll understand that I'll be here Not there in the kitchen With the girl who's always gossiping about her friends So tell them I'll be here Right next to the boy who's throwin' up Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more Oh God, why am I here? [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here? Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here [Bridge] Hours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator Some girl talkin' 'bout her haters, she ain't got none How did it ever come to this? I should've never come to this So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin' And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready And I'm standin' by the TV with my beanie low Yo, I'll be over here [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here? Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here And I can't wait till we can break up out of here
