  • I really don't like your point of view
    I know you'll never change
    Stinging me with your attitude
    I've got the mind to walk away

    I really don't like your arrogance
    Or your policies
    You're ninety-nine percent an embarrassment
    Of just wrong (?) qualities

    I don't mind it when you (whistles)
    Brings out the best in me when you (whistles)
    Show your expertise
    When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
    That you are the best in me

    I like it when you (whistles)
    Can I have some please of that (whistles)
    Satisfy my needs
    Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
    So you are the best in me

    I really don't like your skinny jeans
    So take them off for me
    Show me what you've got underneath
    So we can do this properly

    I really don't like the way you smile
    When you think you're right
    But I will forgive you, the yoke is in the middle
    And we're chewing through the wire

    I don't mind it when you (whistles)
    Brings out the best in me when you (whistles)
    Show your expertise
    When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
    That you are the best in me

    I like it when you (whistles)
    Can I have some please of that (whistles)
    Satisfy my needs
    Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
    So you are the best in me

    I dreamt that you were on a train
    And you were leaving, you were leaving
    Made me think of what I'd miss
    Do you believe it, you believe it

    I don't mind it when you (whistles)
    Brings out the best in me when you (whistles)
    Show your expertise
    When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
    That you'll wind up next to me

    I like it when you (whistles)
    Can I have some please of that (whistles)
    Take off your skinny jeans
    Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
    So you are the best in me

    I dreamed that you were on a train
    And you were leaving, you were leaving Writer/s: ELIZA CAIRD, MATTHEW PRIME, TIMOTHY DANIEL WOODCOCK
