Words and music by Matt Phillips

lyrics

Ain’t nobody ever sing to you? Aint you heard that song before?

Your eyes say that you miss me like I spent three years at war

In some forgotten country where they rearrange the dust with carbon bombs

Oh la la la la la la la

I will confess I had my feelings, making small talk on the way

To a lecture class that kicks my ass plus I'm always running late

I make up some excuse to be on your side of town, I call you up

Oh la la la la la la la

Oh la la la la la la la

I refuse to be your Jodi, how dare you tempt me so?

Consider myself gone until you know, I’m not breaking up the married folk

Well I thought I couldn’t have you, now I shouldn’t, now it’s wrong

Every time you leave a message or start a hug that lasts too long

I’ve always been the little straw that breaks the camel’s back, well suck it up

Oh la la la la la la la

Well please don’t make it awkward, your precious room-mate says to me

Well pretty close to over isn’t solid guarantee

'Cause my heart it starts to hurting with complicated love and cold Chinese

Oh la la la la la la la

Oh la la la la la la la

I refuse to be your Jodi, how dare you tempt me so?

Consider myself gone until you know, I’m not breaking up the married folk

I want both of your friendships but Carolina does it right

I’d rather be alone if I can get to sleep at night

Go now to your arms, boys, I call in my retreat

Cause all your double lovin' is double flanking me

Oh la la la la la la la

Oh la la la la la la la

I refuse to be your Jodi, how dare you tempt me so?

Consider myself gone until you know, I’m not breaking up the married folk

Oh la la la lala la la
