[Verse 1]
It was so nice throwin’ big parties
Jump into the pool from the balcony
Everyone swimmin’ in a champagne sea
And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Feelin’ so Gatsby for that whole year
[Pre-Chorus]
So why’d you have to rain on my parade?
I’m shaking my head and locking the gates
[Chorus]
This is why we can’t have nice things, darlin’
Because you break them, I had to take them away
This is why we can’t have nice things, honey (Oh)
Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me?
This is why we can’t have nice things
[Verse 2]
It was so nice being friends again
There I was, giving you a second chance
But you stabbed me in the back while shakin’ my hand
And therein lies the issue, friends don’t try to trick you
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
And so I took an axe to a mended fence
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m not the only friend you’ve lost lately (Mm-mm)
If only you weren’t so shady
[Chorus]
This is why we can’t have nice things, darlin’ (Yeah)
Because you break them, I had to take them away
This is why we can’t have nice (Nice things) things (Baby), honey
Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me?
This is why we can’t have
[Bridge]
Here’s a toast to my real friends
They don’t care about the he-said, she-said
And here’s to my baby
He ain’t readin’ what they call me lately
And here’s to my mama
Had to listen to all this drama
And here’s to you
‘Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
Haha, I can’t even say it with a straight face (This is why we can’t have)
[Chorus]
This is why we can’t have nice things, darlin’ (Darlin’)
Because you break them, I had to take them away (Away)
This is why we can’t have nice (Uh, uh) things (Oh, no), honey (Baby, oh)
Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me?
This is why we can’t have (Oh) nice (Oh, no) things, darlin’
(And here’s to my real friends; Oh)
Because you break them, I had to take them (Away)
(And here’s to my baby; Oh)
Nice things (Oh, no), honey
(They didn’t care about that he-said, she-said)
Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me?
This is why we can’t have nice things
