[Intro: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together] Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh [Chorus 1: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together] We are never, ever, ever getting back together We are never, ever, ever getting back together You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me But we are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together [Post-Chorus: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together] Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh [Transition: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things & We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together] Oh, and here's to my real friends Oh, and here's to my baby They didn't care about the he-said-she-said We are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together [Verse 1: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things] So why'd you have to rain on my parade? I'm shaking my head and locking the gates [Chorus 2: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things] 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 [Verse 2: 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 then you stabbed 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 And so I took an axe to a mended fence [Pre-Chorus 2: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things] But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately If only you weren't so shady [Bridge: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things] 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 momma Had to listen to all this drama And here's to you 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face [Chorus 2: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things] This is why we can't have nice things, darling (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, darling (And here's to my real friends) Because you break them I had to take them away (And here's to my baby) This is why we can't have nice things, darling (He didn't care about that 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
