99 Times Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, you see
You’ve got me back again for more
And it seems
Your song is in my head, this is war

[Verse 2]
Mystery
How I could feel you breathe me I was sure
You would keep
Every promise, you would keep every word

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, I try to put your stories in line
But nothing adds up right

[Chorus]
For every 99 times you looked me in the eye
You looked me in the eye and swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind, I never saw the signs
I’m getting out tonight and you’re not invited

[Verse 3]
Its a shame
That you left me hanging like you did, it was brave, oh
But it was much
More foolish don’t you think? Don't you think?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cause you know I won't be satisfied
Until you realize

[Chorus]
For every 99 times you looked me in the eye
You looked me in the eye and swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind, I never saw the signs
I’m getting out tonight and you’re not invited

[Bridge]
These things are, oh, all so typical
These things are unforgivable
I’m gone and you’re invisible now, whoa
Don’t let me catch you following
Don’t ask, cause I’m not offering
You’ve caused enough of my suffering, oh

[Chorus]
For every 99 times you looked me in the eye
You looked me in the eye and swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind, I never saw the signs
I’m getting out tonight, oh, oh, oh

For every 99 times you looked me in the eye
You looked me in the eye and swore you weren’t lying
Well, I was so blind, I never saw the signs
I’m getting out tonight, you’re not invited

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Kate explained that this song “is about the different emotions you experience after finding out somebody you’re close to has been feeding you a story that isn’t true. You end up feeling stupid and pissed off, and I guess I dealt with those emotions by putting on some black boots, messing up my hair, turning up the distortion on my guitar and getting in front of the mic to pretend I was Chrissie Hynde. That was pretty much all it took.”
