Then What Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Big man, big man, walk it off, everybody talk it up
Off the record, off the cuff, yada yada, blah blah blah
Now look, I'm not here to hear you talk
You keep going, you get brushed
I'm Shania to it all, that shit don't impress me much
Witcha loudmouth, running all around town
Can we turn the sound down? Boom-chicka-wow-wow
Uh, wish you could bite your tongue till it's numb
But I'ma let you finish and when you finish we're done
[Chorus]
Okay, but then what? Is that really all you got?
Okay, but then what? I don't like to say this much
Okay, but then what? 'Cause all that talk is cheap
Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me
Okay, but then what? Is that really all you got?
Okay, but then what? I don't like to say this much
Okay, but then what? 'Cause all that talk is cheap
Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me, okay
[Verse 2]
Oh my god, I need a minute, can we pick the speed up with it?
You don't need to be specific, fingers pressing the ignition, vroom
Race you to your point, last to get there get ignored
Hate to disappoint, yeah, but hate being here more
So uh, tell me more, nah, I'm kidding
I'm struggling to listen and keep the indifference hidden, oh man
I knew this a bad idea from the start
So I'ma let you finish or, actually, maybe nah
[Chorus]
Okay, but then what? Is that really all you got?
Okay, but then what? I don't like to say this much
Okay, but then what? 'Cause all that talk is cheap
Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me
Okay, but then what? Is that really all you got?
Okay, but then what? I don't like to say this much
Okay, but then what? 'Cause all that talk is cheap
Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me, okay
[Bridge]
Hold up, man, why we doing this again?
Should'a learnt my lesson, should'a turned and ran
And it's just my luck that I'm still here stuck
When we're way past done, could we move this on? Like
Hold up, man, why we doing this again?
Got real world problems, got real good friends
And we all say nah (Say nah), we don't care that much (That much)
But you still won't stop (Nah, nah), we like oh my god, damn
[Chorus]
Okay, but then what? Is that really all you got?
Okay, but then what? I don't like to say this much
Okay, but then what? 'Cause all that talk is cheap
Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me
Okay, but then what? Is that really all you got?
Okay, but then what? I don't like to say this much
Okay, but then what? 'Cause all that talk is cheap
Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me
[Outro]
Okay, but then what? Ayy, ayy, ayy
Okay, but then what? Ayy, ayy, ayy
Okay, but then what? Ayy, ayy, ayy
Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me, man

What have the artists said about the song?
It’s about when you’re on one and everyone wants to be around you and everyone loves you. And then, when you’re not, that phone stops ringing. It’s so cliché, but it’s so true. People want to be around people that they perceive as having momentum, and then they drop you. I’m sure it’s the same every...
