This_Is_Why_We_Can't_Have_Nice_Things(256k)

[00:05.91] It was so nice throwing big parties

[00:09.36] Jump into the pool from the balcony

[00:12.28] Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

[00:17.86] And there are no rules when you show up here

[00:21.06] Bass beat rattling the chandelier

[00:23.97] Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

[00:28.79] So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

[00:34.12] I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates

[00:39.70] This is why we can't have nice things, darling

[00:46.65] Because you break them, I had to take them away

[00:51.22] This is why we can't have nice things, honey (oh)

[00:58.43] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

[01:02.94] This is why we can't have nice things

[01:07.99] It was so nice being friends again

[01:10.91] There I was giving you a second chance

[01:13.61] But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand

[01:19.46] And therein lies the issue, friends don't try to trick you

[01:22.64] Get you on the phone and mind-twist you

[01:25.56] And so I took an axe to a mended fence

[01:30.34] But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately (mmm-mmm)

[01:35.92] If only you weren't so shady

[01:41.01] This is why we can't have nice things, darling

[01:48.23] Because you break them, I had to take them away

[01:52.78] This is why we can't have nice (nice things) things (baby), honey (oh)

[01:59.99] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

[02:04.56] This is why we can't have-

[02:05.66] Here's a toast to my real friends

[02:09.15] They don't care about the he said, she said

[02:12.12] And here's to my baby

[02:14.83] He ain't reading what they call me lately

[02:18.08] And here's to my mama

[02:20.72] Had to listen to all this drama

[02:23.43] And here's to you

[02:25.85] 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do

[02:32.26] Hahaha, I can't even say it with a straight face!
