lyrics

you gotta get up early in the morning
if you wanna fool me once
i just found out a smile can say you’re sorry
even when you’re really not
back to the present i hate to keep you waiting
for something that may never come back around
it’s not my fault we keep debating
about whether the sun will rise next month

so where’s my common sense?
i don’t mean to be rude but i
try to stay in a good mood i try

whatcha gonna do do whatcha gonna do?

did i say leave me alone? i can’t remember
i’ve probably said that so many times In My Life
that’s my favorite song or at least one of them
continued to play nice we did all summer
when things got heavy we got light
i need some new clothes
i need some new kicks
but i don’t need shit

so where’s my common sense?
i don’t mean to be rude but i
try to stay in a good mood i try
to stay in a good mood

so whatcha gonna do?
whatcha gonna say?
i’m leaving you behind for the summer or an early fall
praying that the winter never comes at all

watch out

whatcha gonna do do whatcha gonna do?
