The Strokes What Ever Happened? song lyrics

I want to be forgotten

And I don't want to be reminded

You say "please don't make this harder"

No, I won't yet

I wanna be beside her

She wanna be admired

You say "please don't make this harder"

No, I won't yet

Oh dear, is it really all true?

Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?

Top ten ideas for countdown shows

Whose culture is this and does anybody know?

I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess"

But no one comes in and yes, you're alone

You don't miss me, I know

Oh Tennessee, what did you write?

I come together in the middle of the night

Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause

I've got you to let me down

I want to be forgotten

And I don't want to be reminded

You say "please don't make this harder"

No, I won't yet

I want to be beside her

She wanna be admired

You say "please don't make this harder"

No, I won't yet
