Oh, well, it's ever so funny
'Cause I don't think you're special, I don't think you're cool
You're just probably alright, but under these lights you look beautiful
And I'm struggling, I can't see through your fake tan
Yeah, and you know it for a fact that everybody's eating out of your hands
But what do you know?
Oh, you know nothing
Yeah, but I'll still take you home
Oh, yeah, I'll still take you home
So what do you know?
Said, you don't know nothing
Well, fancy seeing you in here
You're all tarted up, and you don't look the same
Well, I ain't seen you since last year
Yeah, and surprisingly you have forgotten my name
But you know it, yeah, you knew it all along
Oh, and you say you have forgotten, but you're fibbing, go on, tell me I'm wrong
So what do you know?
Oh, you know nothing
Yeah, but I'll still take you home
Oh, yeah, I'll still take you home
So what do you know?
Oh, you don't know nothing, no
Oh-whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh-whoa, whoa, whoa
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Oh-whoa, whoa, whoa
Well, so what do you know?
Yeah, you don't know nothing, no
Yeah, but I'd still take you home
Oh, yeah, I'll still take you home
I said, what do you know?
Oh, you don't know nothing
I fancy you with a passion
Oh, you're a Topshop princess, a rock star too
But you're a fad, and you're a fashion
And I'm having a job tryna talk to you
But it's alright, yeah, I'll put it on one side
Oh, 'cause everybody's looking, you've got control of everyone's eyes including mine
