We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

You?re on the phone with your boyfriend, he?s upset
He?s goin? off about somethin? that you said
He doesn?t get your humor like I do.

I?m in my room; it?s a typical Tuesday night
I?m listenin? to the kind of music he doesn?t like
And he?ll never know your story like I do

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We called it off again that night but
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This time - I?m tellin? you, I?m tellin? you

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Someday I?ll be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

(So she calls me up and she?s like)

Walkin? the streets with you in your tight ass jeans
I can?t help thinkin? this is how it ought to be
Laughin? on a park bench thinkin? to myself
Hey, isn?t this easy

You?ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven?t seen it in a while since he brought you down
You say you?re fine, I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doin? with a boy like that?

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We called it off again that night but
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This time - I?m tellin? you, I?m tellin? you

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Someday I?ll be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
The flashback starts I?m standin? there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

(This is so exhausting)

I?m tellin? you, I?m tellin? you
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
