In this song, Olivia describes her game of what could hardly be considered a relationship with a man as they use each other to fill in the gap left by a former lover.
[Verse 1]
You look at me, you see her face
Know you don't like me, I'm just there to hold her place
I fall asleep, head on your chest
But I wake up on the other side of the bed
[Refrain]
Hope I distract you enough
From the girl that you love
'Cause I've been doin' the same
You're just a boy that I (*Gasp*)
I hope that wasn't too much
But boy, I don't give a fuck
That's what I'm tellin' myself
So that I don't get caught up
On you
Caught up on you (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope I keep her side of the bed warm
If that's the only thing that you've been keepin' me around for
Won't say how we're feelin' 'cause we're unsure
But we love playin' this game of who can care less more (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Who can care less, who can care less more?
It's a contest, who do we care less for?
Who can care less, who can care less more?
It's a contest, of who can care less more
[Verse 2]
You stole the sheets, I stole 'em back
Boy, that was cold, but I can be colder than that
That's why I leave, keep on my makeup
So that I'm gone before the mornin' when you wake up
[Refrain]
Hope I distract you enough
From the girl that you love
'Cause I've been doin' the same
You're just a boy that I (*Gasp*)
'Cause baby, I'm just too much
For you to do more than fuck
That's what you're tellin' yourself
So that you don't get caught up
On me
Caught up on me (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope I keep her side of the bed warm
If that's the only thing that you've been keepin' me around for
Won't say how we're feelin' 'cause we're unsure
But we love playin' this game of who can care less more (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Who can care less, who can care less more?
It's a contest, who do we care less for?
Who can care less, who can care less more?
It's a contest, of who can care less more
[Outro]
Why you wastin' all of your time layin' next to me?
If you really wanted her so bad, that's where you'd be
Why you wastin' all of your time, busy textin' me
If you don't want what's best for me?
(Caught up on me)
