LYRICS

Every time you go away
It actually kinda makes my day
Every time you leave
You slam the door
You pick your words so carefully
You hate to think you’re hurting me
You leave me laughing on the floor

Cause I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a shit
What you say about that
You know I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a shit
What you say about that
You know I’m not gonna cry
About some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he’s all that

I thought we were
Just hanging out
So why’d you kiss me
On the mouth
You thought the way
You taste would get me high, oh
You went to all your friends
To brag (to brag)
Guys are always
Such a drag (a drag)
Don’t you know the reason
That I kissed you
Tas to say goodbye

Hanging, hanging out (out)
I am simply hanging, hanging out
I am simply hanging
So why’d you kiss me on the mouth?
(Why’d you kiss me)

Don’t you know that I
I don’t give a damn about you
I don’t give a shit about you
I don’t give a damn about you
I don’t give a shit about you
I’m not gonna cry
About some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he’s all that

I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a shit
What you say about that
(I don’t give a damn)
You know I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a shit (No)
What you say about that
(No, I don’t give a damn)
You know I’m not gonna cry
About some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he’s all that

Cause I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a shit

“American Wedding” Version

Every time you go away
It actually kinda makes my day
Every time you leave
You slam the door
You pick your words so carefully
You hate to think you’re hurting me
You leave me laughing on the floor

Cause I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
You know I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
You know I’m not gonna cry
About some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he’s all that

I thought we were just hanging out
So why’d you kiss me on the mouth
You thought the way ou taste would
Get me high, oh
You went to all your friends to brag
(To brag)
Guys are always such a drag (a drag)
Don’t you know the reason
That I kissed you was to say goodbye

Hanging, hanging out (out)
I am simply hanging, hanging out
I am simply hanging
So why’d you kiss me on the mouth?
(Why’d you kiss me)

Don’t you know that I….
I don’t give a damn about you
I won’t give it up, not for you
I don’t give a damn about you
I won’t give it up, not for you
I’m not gonna cry about some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he’s all that

I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
(I don’t give a damn)
You know I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
(I don’t give a damn)

I don’t give it up (I, I, I)
I don’t give a damn (I, I, I)
What you say about that
(What you say)
You know I don’t give it up (I, I, I)
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
