The song talks about being proposed to be in a relationship and, even though you considered the proposal, you tell them that “if I...
[Verse 1]
I hope you found what you've been looking for
I pray to God it’s not me
'Cause I'm doing better things than being yours
I know it’s hard to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you're asking why I'm not coming by
Honestly I don't really care
[Chorus]
And if I really wanted to I would
Show up at your doorstep unannounced
But honestly I think that I am good
I don't really need to stick around
To watch you waste your life away
It's been a year and nothing's changed
If I really wanted to I would
If i really wanted to
But I don’t
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
But I don’t
Do-do-do-do-do-do
[Verse 2]
Hey, what you don't with that pretty face?
I hope she fakes when she screams (Oh, daddy)
Naw, I’m just playing but I kinda hate
Seeing you kiss in the streets (Do-do-do-do-do-do)
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you'rе asking why I'm not coming by
Honestly is that even a quеstion?
[Chorus]
And if I really wanted to I would (Hey)
Show up at your doorstep unannounced
But honestly I think that I am good (Okay)
I don't really need to stick around
To watch you waste your life away
It’s been a year and nothing's changed
If I really wanted to I would (Would)
If i really wanted to
But I don't
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
But I don't
Do-do-do-do-do-do
But I don't
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
[Bridge]
I could ask you a million times why it didn't work out
But would the answers change my mind? (Oh, wow, riveting)
So go on and live your life, hope you figure it out
'Cause I could ruin you if I tried
[Chorus]
But I don't
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
But I don't, but I don't, but I
But I don't
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Ba-da-da-da-dum

We were trying to make a gypsy pop song. I don’t think that’s ever really been done in the last little bit. We had cowbells and we were doing all of these crazy, wild things. It was so fun. But we went through a bunch of bridges on this one, because I was like, ‘We need to get a bridge that everyone...
