Kate Miller-Heidke - I Like You Better When You're Not Around lyrics

Long, long ago in the years BC The women used to gossip while they made their tea It's been our method of survival, right from the start But girl you've really gone and turned it into an art After I see you I feel as dirty as hell Like you've contaminated me with that peculiar smell That comes from dishing up the dirt on all your closest friends "I mean like what the hell is with her, I mean, no offence" So please don't take it to heart When I say can we start to spend time apart But frankly my dear This friendship is toxic Like a fox and a hound I like you better when you're not around Don't wanna hear about your b**hy scene And I don't really care who gave who what disease As if I don't even know you say just the same about me Do you really think I'm that naive? I L-I-K-E you better when you are N-O-T around
