[Verse 1]
You say that I'm special, but I'm not
You say that I have something. What have I got?
Just a worn-out pair of shoes
And a big ol' case of the blues
And, of course, I still do not have you
If you think that I'm happy, then you're wrong
Would a happy person really write this song?
Though I go about my day
And pretend to throw my cares away
They're still right here, keeping me at bay
[Chorus]
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
I don't want anything that's new
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
And I certainly do not want you
[Verse 2]
Walking through town, who do I see?
It's you! And you're waving at me
So I wave back, and smile
But what I'm thinking all the while
Is that I wish you'd wave at someone much less vile
And for the rest of the day, I sit and think
And the more I do that, the more I sink
Into a deep self-loathing pit
Which I do not appreciate one bit
You're amazing, and I am most unfit
[Chorus]
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
I don't want anything that's new
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
And I certainly do not want you
[Verse 3]
And the stupid thing is, it makes my day
When I see you, and you look my way
Even though I self-abuse
It's definitely not lose-lose
And though I think less of me, I'd never refuse
[Chorus]
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
I don't want anything that's new
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
Oh, what I am I to do?
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
I think we both know that that's untrue
I don't want anything
I don't want anything
And I certainly do not want you
