LYRICS:
Trust me / Trust me when I say that I was innocent
Trust me / He only stayed ‘cause we were just listening
Yeah we were just listening

I know what you think / I know you’re scared
I’ll find someone else / And I know what you think
That I’ll be unfaithful / And it’ll be unfair
And you will be torn in two / Well I’ve got some news for you

I don’t break hearts / I don’t do funny business
I just ride cars / And watch them get hung up in it
I don’t break hearts / I don’t do funny business
I just ride in cars / And watch them get hung up in it
Watch them get hung up in it / Watch them get hung up in it

Trust me / My word is good and I swear no one else’s
Trust me / I got the loyalty, I’ve learned my lessons
Yeah I’ve learned my lessons
And I know what you think / I know you’re scared I’ll find someone else
And I know what you think / That I’ll be unfaithful
And it’ll be unfair / And you will be torn in two
Well I’ve got some news for you

I don’t break hearts / I don’t do funny business
I just ride cars / And watch them get hung up in it
I don’t break hearts / I don’t do funny business
I just ride in cars / And watch them get hung up in it

If you think about it / Will the lightning strike
If you think about it / Hope you’ll realise
If you think about it / Will the lightning strike
If you think about it / Hope you’ll realise

I don’t play cards / I don’t do funny business
I just ride cars / And watch them get hung up in it
I don’t break hearts / I don’t do funny business
I just ride in cars / And watch them get hung up in it

Watch them get hung up on it
Watch them get hung up on it
Watch them get hung up on it
Watch them get hung up on it

I don’t break hearts / I don’t do funny business
I just ride cars / And watch them hung up in it
I don’t break hearts / I don’t do funny business
I just ride in cars / And watch them hung up in it

There is something so addictive to her voice. Like the way she pronounces her words and the tone, it’s like no matter what she says it sounds good. Almost hypnotic. Like it creates its own beat

[frenchie]

that opening dance scene in the kitchen is literally me when im home alone lmao

[shishimaru]

I can't believe there's someone like Alice making a song that actually says "don't you worry, I don't break hearts and I don't do funny business like people cheating" <3

[MC-dzbe]

No funny business
No funny business

Trust me, trust me when I say that I was innocent
Trust me, he'd only stay 'cause we were just listenin'
Yeah, we were just listenin'

And I know what you think
I know you're scared I find someone else
And I know what you think
That I'll be unfaithful and it will be unfair
And you will be torn in two
Well I've got some news for you

I don't break hearts
I don't do funny business
I just ride cars and watch them get hung up in it
I don't break hearts
I don't do funny business
I just ride in cars and watch them get hung up in it

Watch them get hung up in it
Watch them get hung up in it

Trust me, my word is good and I swear no one else's
Trust me, I got the loyalty, I've learned my lessons
Yeah, I've learned my lessons

And I know what you think
I know you're scared I find someone else
And I know what you think
That I'll be unfaithful and it will be unfair
And you will be torn in two
Well I've got some news for you

I don't break hearts
I don't do funny business
I just ride cars and watch them get hung up in it
I don't break hearts
I don't do funny business
I just ride in cars and watch them get hung up in it

If you think about it, will the lightning strike?
If you think about it, hope you realize
If you think about it, will the lightning strike?
If you think about it, hope you realize

I don't play cards
I don't do funny business
I just ride cars and watch them get hung up in it
I don't break hearts, I don't do funny business
I just ride cars and watch them get hung up in it

Watch them get hung up in it
Watch them get hung up in it
Watch them get hung up in it

I don't break hearts
I don't do funny business
I just ride cars and watch them get hung up in it
I don't break hearts
I don't do funny business
I just ride in cars and watch them get hung up in it

Almost every song on this album is hit material. Special album. Gets better with each listen.

[evaa.]

Love the video! That guy's dancing is so good and it felt like he took me on a tour through Berlin. Good job on directing the video and I'm so excited for the release of Mint!

[zakwasny]

>No Roots
>No Funny Business
>No bad songs so far

[noriatika]

not so sure but when i listen to her musics, it reminds me of marina and the diamond and florence welch. New fan here Alice :)

[doctorfeline]

I heard this song while shopping at Walmart. .

Stopped by to say.. .

THIS SONG ROCKS!
🎶👣🎵🎤✊

[dijanakaralic]

1. No Roots!
2.Why so serious?
3. Funny business!
LOVEEEE itttt❤️

[bellerophon]

A very catchy song, both in the music and the way Alice sings whomever made the decision to hire the guy should get a raise, a promotion, a paid vacation to somewhere cool, everything he's doing fits the mood of the song really skillfully.

[GaingoGigs]

I'm sorry to say but Alice Merton is now one of my favorite artist 🥺™️

[epicpotato]

Love this guy's style, or lack there of.

[autumnisbetterthanspring]

Quite unique voice, production is on point.

[OhnoNO]

Am I the only one who thought that was Macaulay Culkin at first?

[bradleyhougland]

She's got that dark sound like Billie Eilish. Also. DAMN! Surprise ending! Nice.

[ВИВАЛАВИДА-еы]

Как же красиво Парнишка танцует! Вот это пластика! 👍🏼👏👏👏🤩

[mycentsu]

Came for the song, stayed for the dancing. <3

[RepubliconCelebrityPresidents]

Nobody gonna talk about how we all no doubt thought that was Macaulay Culkin with varying certainty for the entirety of the video?🤷🏿‍♂️

[muzikluvah]

OMG, I LOVE THIS SONG! Will be on repeat for weeks! And, dayum to the girl in the video, you missed out. The guy who danced his way to you was the better choice IMO.
