"Whatever" lyrics
KT Tunstall & Emma Flynn Lyrics
What a night, what a joke
My best late plans up in smoke
Now I'm stranded, soaked, phoneless, broke, whatever
Heard a friend caused a mess
Destroyed my shoes, tore my dress
Was it all my fault? No, well, yes, whatever
And I'm completely not okay
Anyway
Tell me why though I
Try and try, everything's wrong
Do I expect too much? Well, fine, whatever
I still feel life could
Be ideal, feel it so strong
Why won't the world just go along?
Tai's been played, I've been burned
A month's of work overturned
As for high school boys, lesson learned, whatever
She'll be crushed once she knows
Despite the fact Elton blows
Which I should have known, I suppose, whatever
If I screwed up, well who's to say
I did my part so why can't they?
Anyway
Tell me why though I
Try and try, nothing's gone right
Maybe I push too hard, well, fine, whatever
I don't see why it
All can't be sweetness and light
I was so close, yet, so not quite
Has fate turned against me?
No-one's on my side
My hopes have been denied
I'm more than mortified
Still Josh did defend me
That was a surprise
He didn't criticise
Just saw me with clear eyes
Unlike most other guys in this town
At least he won't let me down
I know how all these scenes should play
And yet the actors won't obey
Anyway
Tell me why though I
Try and try, stars won't align
It would be so way cool, but, hey, whatever
Wish I knew why they
Won't just do as I design
What could it be? Maybe it's me
But Josh would agree
Whatever
Fine
So for real, here's the deal
I will swallow my pride, and I'll simply decide to do everything better
I'll find Tai a new guy, and no losers need a ply
She'll be happy, I don't care what it takes
And I'll stand in command with a smile on my face
Looking chill, dressed to kill, not a hair out of place
And declare, with an air of impeccable grace
Clear the way, no delay
Cher is back on the case
'Til everything is perfect
Everything's top ten
Everything completely smack on track again
Everything exactly how I want and then
I'll be the girl I'm meant to be
All selfless fabulosity
And prove to Josh conclusively
He couldn't be more wrong 'bout me
'Cause everything is
Everything is perfect
My best late plans up in smoke
Now I'm stranded, soaked, phoneless, broke, whatever
Heard a friend caused a mess
Destroyed my shoes, tore my dress
Was it all my fault? No, well, yes, whatever
And I'm completely not okay
Anyway
Tell me why though I
Try and try, everything's wrong
Do I expect too much? Well, fine, whatever
I still feel life could
Be ideal, feel it so strong
Why won't the world just go along?
