Lyrics Kate Nash – We Get On

Simply knowing you exist
Ain’t good enough for me
But asking for your telephone number
Seems highly inappropriate

Seeing as I can’t
Even say hi
When you walk by

And that time you shook my hand
It felt so nice
I swear I never felt
This way about any other guy
And I don’t usually notice people’s eyes but

I conducted a plan
To bump into you most accidentally
But I was walking along
And I bumped into you much more heavily
Than I’d originally planned
It was well embarrassing and
I think you thought that I was a bit of a twat

I just think that we get on
I wish I could tell you face to face
Instead of singing this stupid song
But yeah I just think that we might get on

So I went to that party and everyone
They were kind of arty
And I was wearing this dress
Because I wanted to impress
But I wasn’t sure if I looked my best
‘Cause I was so nervous
But I carried on regardless

And when I saw you
Kissing that girl
My heart it shattered
And my eyes, they watered
And when I tried to speak I stuttered

And my friends were like whatever
You’ll find someone better
His eyes were way too close together
And we never even liked him from the start
And now he’s with that tart
And I heard she done some really nasty stuff
Down in the park with Michael
He said she’s easy
And if your guy’s with someone that’s sleazy
Then he ain’t worth your time
‘Cause you deserve a real nice guy

So I proceeded to get drunk and cry
And lock myself in the toilets
For the entire night

Saturday night
I watched channel five
I particularly liked CSI

I don’t ever dream
About you and me
I don’t ever make up stuff about us
That would be classed as insanity
I don’t ever drive by your house to see if you’re in
I don’t even have an opinion
On that tramp that you’re still seeing
I don’t know your timetable
I don’t know your face off by heart
But I must admit
That there is still a part of me
That thinks we might get on
That we could get on
That we should get on
