  • Yeah, my girlfriend takes me home when I'm too drunk to drive
    And she doesn't get all jealous when I hang out with the guys
    She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
    She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because
    Yeah, just because

    And my girlfriend likes UL and DHC
    And she's so smart and independent
    I don't think she needs me
    Quite half as much as I know I need her
    I wonder why there's not another guy that she'd prefer

    And when I feel like giving up
    Like my world is falling down
    I show up at 3 AM, she's still up watching Vacation
    And I see her pretty face
    It takes me away to a better place, and

    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine
    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine

    Yeah, my girlfriend takes collect calls from the road
    And it doesn't seem to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge
    She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
    She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because

    And when I feel like giving up
    Like my world is falling down
    I show up at 3 AM, she's still up watching Vacation
    And I see her pretty face
    It takes me away to a better place, and

    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine
    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine
    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine
    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine

    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine
    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine
    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine
    I know that everything, know that everything, know that everything
    Everything's gonna be fine Writer/s: Mark Hoppus, Scott Raynor, Tom De Longe
