I didn't go to your birthday party And mingle with everybody I didn't take off my clothes in the pool I wasn't singing like Frank Sinatra Not because I was afraid to be center stage It was quite the opposite Because I knew you'd be bummed if I took all your thunder So I did the opposite I never thought it would backfire And I'd make it all about me Now you're havin' a bad time Because I made it all about me Oh, once again Once again (And I always, I always do) Once again Once again (And I always, I always) I didn't go to the Grammy parties 'Cause nobody invited me And I don't have any empty bodies So I guess it didn't bother me But then I sat on your couch, and proceeded to pout So you would acknowledge me And if you want it now, could you tell me now So we can do it quietly? I know you didn't want a sorry song Or a fake party song But it's all that I know how to do I don't know why I made a sorry song When you never wanted one But it's all because I love You I never thought it would backfire And I'd make it all about me And now you're havin' a bad time Because I made it all about me Once again Once again (And I always, I always do) Once again Once again (And I always, I always) Yeah I didn't go to the Gra'
