Lyrics of CAN WE IGNORE IT? š by Lola Young
[Intro]
One, Two, Three
[Verse 1]
I Play With Fire Kinda Like The Way I Feel When It Burns
If I’m Being Honest, I’ll Take Anything As Long As It Hurts
I Need A Doctor, Got A Sickness, And It’s Just Getting Worse
I Said, “I Think I’m Dying” He Said,
“Darling, You’ve Been Dying Since Birth”
[Pre-Chorus]
By The Way, I Don’t Have Much To Give
It’s All The Same, This Ain’t No Way To Live
And Every Day I Get Up And Run ’round In Circles
[Chorus]
Can We Ignore It, Baby, Even For Just One Day?
Don’t Talk About It, I Just Put On My Face
And If You Love Me Like You Say Then Let Me Escape
[Verse 2]
I Need A Little Bit Of Something To Take Off The Edge
I Mean, Realistically, I Just Need A New Set Of Friends
(They Don’t Care, They Don’t Care)
I Won’t Shut Down In Therapy,
He Said There’s People Who Need Her Help
(I Need You To Need Me, Babe)
I Wanna Waste All My F**king Money, I’ll Just Do It Myself
[Pre-Chorus]
By The Way, I Don’t Have Much To Give
It’s All The Same, It’s Fun The Way I Live
And Every Day I Get Up And Run ’round In Circles
[Chorus]
Can We Ignore It, Baby, Even For Just One Day?
Don’t Talk About It, I Just Put On My Face
And If You Love Me Like You Say Then Let Me Escape (Say What’s Wrong)
Three In The Morning, I Don’t Even Know My Name
Don’t Talk About It, I Just Put On My Face
And If You Love Me Like You Say Then Let Me Escape
[Bridge]
I Really Wantā
I Wanna Getā
I Wanna Be
I Wanna Be
I Wanna Be, Yeah
Yeah
I Really Want It
Can We Justā
[Outro]
Can We Ignore It, Baby, Even For Just One Day?
Don’t Talk About It, I Just Put On My Face
And If You Love Me Like You Say Then Let Me Escape
