[Verse 1: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty]
An ending fitting for the start
You twisted and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dart
That shattered the lamp and into darkness cast us
No, you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder now

[Pre-Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty, both]
If you want to try, if you want to try
There's no worse you could do, uh, oh, oh
I know you lie, I know you lie
I'm still in love with you, uh, oh, oh
Can't take me anywhere, I'd take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, well, I can't take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

[Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty]
Oh, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now

[Verse 2: Pete Doherty]
Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending now?
You tried to pull the wool I wasn't feeling too clever
And you take all that they're lending
Until you needed mending now
[Pre-Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty, both]
If you want to try, if you want to try
There's no worse you could do, uh, oh, oh
I know you lie, all you do is make me cry
All those words they ain't true
Can't take me anywhere, I can't take you anywhere
Can't take me anywhere, I won't take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you want to go

[Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty]
Oh, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now

[Outro: Pete Doherty & Carl Barat]
No, oh, oh (You can't stand me now)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
