Lyrics:

We didn't do it for the money

We didn't do it for the money

I don't know why

I don’t know why

We didn't do it for the money

We didn't do it for the money

I don't care why

I don’t care why

You'll go down, down, down

You'll go down, down, down

Get in my car, it's too full

Get in my car, it's too full

We didn't do it to be happy

We didn't do it to be happy

So I can whine

So I can whine

You'll go down, down, down

You'll go down, down, down

On the outside, will I grow this out?

On the outside, will I grow this out?

You think I got my way

You think I got my way

You think I got my way

You think I got my way

We didn't do it for the money

We didn't do it for the money

For the last time

For the last time

You think I got my way

You think I got my

You think I got my way

You think I got my way

You think I got my way

You think I got my way

Get in my car

Get in my car

Get in my car

Get in my car

Get in my car

Get in my car

Get in my car

Get in my car

Trivia and Quotes:

“That's a tough one. I'm not sure what the hell Sara was writing it about. I know that when I heard it I was very excited. But I think there's some things we carried over from the last record. The line on We Didn't Do It 'get in my car' and I know in Not Tonight [from If It Was You] she says 'In the back of your car I feel like I have traveled nowhere' like there's themes she carried over from the last record which I think is really cool. We both repeated a few lines from the lyrics of the old record on this new one. I love the instrumentation, I love the arrangement, and the production of that song, it's just kinda like a weird song. I appreciate its originality. Go Sara. Go team.” - Tegan in 2005
