## Lyrics

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

Yeah, yeah

Now you got me up like

I hate wakin' up alone

Call me when you're heading home

I got things I need to say that I can't say to you over the telephone

Four, five glasses all alone

Boys and girls just come and go

I haven't seen you for a minute

I don't like it, not at all, ooh

One thing that I know

Is as hard as I try

I can't face the thought of you not being in my life

Regardless

Regardless of the tears I cried for you today

Regardless of the words we think but never say

You're always in my mind somehow

Whether we're up or down

Regardless, regardless

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

No, this house is not a home

When I'm sleepin' all alone

I'm used to havin', I'm on hold

Then I can't touch you through the phone

You know when you turn me cold

I still got your t-shirt on, oh

Haven't seen you for a minute, no

I don't like it, not at all, ooh

One thing that I know

Is as hard as I try

I can't face the thought of you not being in my life

Oh, yeah

Regardless of the tears I cried for you today

Regardless of the words we think but never say

You're always in my mind somehow

Whether we're up or down

Regardless, regardless

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

Oh, baby, why would you wanna make a girl, make a girl go so crazy?

The things that you do to me, ooh, it's as if you don't rate me, ah

Baby, don't play me, ah

This ain't no game to me, ah

Regardless of the tears I cried for you today

Regardless of the words to think but never say

You're always in my mind somehow

Whether we're up or down

Regardless, regardless

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la
