Lyrics
Takin a leaf
Outta your book
Tell the world
I don’t give a damn
Watched you laugh
And give the finger
Runnin your life
Without no plan
Made it clear
You’d use your own time
Takin stock wasn’t
On your mind
Went through friends
Like a hot knife
Seems they’d never
Come across your kind
Oh no
They’d never come across your kind
I looked on
From a distance
Rebel blood running
Through your veins
All the girls
And all their best friends
Keepin score
Adding up their gains
Brushed them off
Like they were nothin
Runnin water off your back
Didn’t care, but they kept comin
Fightin hard just to stay on track
Yeah
Trippin up
Just to stay on track
Watched you laugh
And give the finger
Runnin your life
Without no plan
Went your way
And did your own thing
Showed them all
You didn’t give a damn
You got a bad name
In the whole town
Honour taken
As you wore that badge
Other guys
Gave you the thumbs down
Stayed away from
From your funky jazz
I looked on
From a distance
Rebel blood runnin
Through your veins
All the girls
And all their best friends
Keepin score
Addin up their gains
huh..
They weren’t gettin nowhere….
Not with you boy…
[Musical Interlude]
Changed my hair
And bought some new gear
Had to style myself
To make you look
But I knew that
You would still ignore me
I could read you
Like an open book
Uhuh
Like turnin pages
In an open book
Didn’t care that
We never got to hook up
Didn’t wanna be
Right by your side
Just used your look
To change my makeup
Now we both
Have a place to hide
Watched you laugh
And give the finger
Ran your life
Without no plan
Went your way
And did your own thing
And just like me
You couldn’t give a damn
Hell no
You didn’t give a damn….
Oh no
We don’t give no damn….
Huh
We don’t give a damn…..
Outta your book
Tell the world
I don’t give a damn
Watched you laugh
And give the finger
Runnin your life
Without no plan
Made it clear
You’d use your own time
Takin stock wasn’t
On your mind
Went through friends
Like a hot knife
Seems they’d never
Come across your kind
Oh no
They’d never come across your kind
I looked on
From a distance
Rebel blood running
Through your veins
All the girls
And all their best friends
Keepin score
Adding up their gains
Brushed them off
Like they were nothin
Runnin water off your back
Didn’t care, but they kept comin
Fightin hard just to stay on track
