This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

歌詞

It was so nice throwing big parties Jump into the pool from the balcony Everyone swimming in a champagne sea And there are no rules when you show up here Bass beat rattling the chandelier Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year So why'd you have to rain on my parade? I'm shaking my head And locking the gates CHORUS: This is why we can't have nice things Darling Because you break them I had to take them away This is why we can't have nice things Honey Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me? This is why we can't have.. Nice things It was so nice being friends again There I was giving you a second chance But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand And therein lies the issue Friends don't try to trick you Get you on the phone And mind-twist you So I took an axe to a mended fence But I'm not the only friend You've lost lately If only you weren't So shady CHORUS Here's a toast to my real friends They don't care about the He said she said And here's to my baby He ain't reading what they call me lately And here's to my mama Had to listen to all this drama And here's to you... 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do I can't even say it with a straight face! CHORUS Oh, here's to my real friends And here's to my baby They didn't care about the he said she said Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me? This is why we can't have Nice things
