[Intro]
You see, the thing about her
She's just a bit too young, I think, personally
I don't really think she's ready for this kind of commitment yet
But whatever, you know what I mean?
It's your life, isn't it?
Bitch

[Verse 1]
When you first walked in the room, I had this feeling
You were gonna build me up then slowly tear me down
But then I looked behind the framework
And all of the glitz and gleams in your eyes (yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause you're just a bad bad girl with no brains inside your head (no)
Keep givin' it all this talk and let you know it
But you don't know shit
'Cause people cringe when you tell 'em a crazy fact (ha ha)
The way the words pour out don't make you sound all that

[Chorus]
'Cause Lucy, no one wants you here
Yeah Lucy, no one wants you here (no, they don't, no)
Yeah Lucy, no one wants you here (ha ha ha)
Yeah Lucy, no one wants you here (yeah)

[Verse 2]
The way you were slagging me off before you even met me
With your preppy ex-boyfriend, that just weren't too wise
The way I caught you whisperin' and lookin' me up and down
Subtlety is clearly not your game

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're a mixed up girl with no real friends in life
You get mouthy in a second but pipe down, it don't work on me
'Cause people laugh when you get mad (ha ha)
Tellin' people how to run their lives is really quite sad (yeah)

[Chorus]
'Cause Lucy, no one wants you here (no they don't, nope)
Yeah Lucy, no one wants you here (no they don't, no)
Yeah Lucy, no one wants you here (oh, yeah)
Yeah Lucy, no one wants you here (yeah)

[Bridge]
I'll do what I want
Get out of my way
Don't just stand there, say what you want to say (move)
Get out of my face (move)
'Cause you got it wrong (ugh)
Just move along now on your own (get out of here)
Don't get on my nerves (yeah)
I've got my contacts (get out of my way)
Don't try and control me 'cause you'll get knocked back
Back into your place, right where you belong
Lucy, take a good listen to this song (yeah)

[Chorus - Variation]
Lucy, no one wants you here (no they don't, no one wants you, just go)
Lucy, no one wants you here (no they don't want you)
Lucy, no one wants you here
(she doesn't want you, I don't want you, just go)
Yeah, Lucy, no one wants you here (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, Lucy, no one wants you here (just leave me alone, go away)
Lucy, no one wants you here (no they don't want you)
Lucy, no one wants you here
Yeah, Lucy, no one wants you here (yeah, ha ha ha)

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
