Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used To Know"
But I'll admit that I was clever. It was over.
But you didn't have to cut me up
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over.
But you didn't have to cut me off
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used To Know"
But that was love and it's innate, I still remember
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used To Know"
Like crazy nation to the end
Like resignation to the end
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used To Know"
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sex
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
But she didn't have the coffee pot
But you didn't have to cut me off
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
But you didn't have to cough it up
or
She didn't have to cough it up
But you didn't have to cut me off
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
But you didn't have to snoop so long
Half your friends collect your rackets
And you change your number
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
But you treat me like a stranger I've been so long
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
I guess that I don't knead that dough
I guess that I don't need that, though.
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
I guess that I don't need that dolt
I guess that I don't need that, though
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
I guess that I don't need that dough
I guess that I don't need that, though
I, Banana, think of when we were together
Now and then I think of when we were together
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
Like grass suck a happen never we’re a minute
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
Make it out like we were happy to marry and nothing
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
She didn't have that puppy love
She didn't have to cut me off
She didn’t have to cough it up
She didn’t have to cut me off
She didn’t have to put me on
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Gotye's,
"Somebody That I Used to Know"
