[Verse 1]
Vodka soda and baggy jeans
Using none of that art degree
She's the type to just look at me
Then write me off, write me off in a moment
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re in a city full of strangers
But I've got faith and twenty bucks in my pocket
So I said, "DJ, can you play her
That one song that talks about chocolate?"
[Chorus]
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 1975" (Oh, oh, oh)
And, no lie, that’s quite the compliment
But I'm not really looking for somebody tonight (Looking for somebody)
I said, "Girl, I might not be famous yet, but I'm gonna put you in a song that I write" (Oh, oh, oh)
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 197—, The 1975"
[Verse 2]
I've been feeling a little sweet
I got jokes, she don't show her teeth
No, she's not losing a lick of sleep
When she writes me off, breaks me down to my lowest
[Pre-Chorus]
We're in a city full of strangers (Strangers, strangers)
It feels like something’s up in the air tonight
So I said, "DJ, can you play her
That one song that talks about Caroline?"
[Chorus]
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you’re not The 1975" (Oh, oh, oh)
And, no lie, that's quite the compliment
But I’m not really looking for somebody tonight (Looking for somebody)
I said, "Girl, I might not be famous yet, but I'm gonna put you in a song that I write" (Oh, oh, oh)
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 197—, The 1975"
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(We're in a city full of strangers)
(But I got faith and twenty bucks in my pocket)
(So I said, "DJ, can you play her)
(That one song that talks about chocolate?")
[Chorus]
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you’re not The 1975" (Oh, oh, oh)
And, no lie, that's quite the compliment
But I'm not really looking for somebody tonight (Looking for somebody)
I said, "Girl, I might not be famous yet, but I'm gonna put you in a song that I write" (Oh, oh, oh)
Then she said, "I like your confidence but you're not The 197—, The 1975"
[Instrumental Outro: Electric Guitar Solo]
(So I said, "DJ, can you play her)
(That one song that talks about Caroline?")
