Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na (tu meri mauj hai), na-na
Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom, keep it shut
I hate it when you hiss and preach
About your new messiah 'cause your theories catch fire
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la (I found a way to block it, I go)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our worlds collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la (I found a way to block it, I go)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la (I found a way to block it, oh, tu meri mauj hai)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la (I found a way to block it, I go)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la (tu meri mauj hai)
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la (tu meri mauj hai)
