She don't know who she is
I can take her anywhere
Do whatever comes naturally to you
You know she just don't care
You know she just don't care

'Cause I'm always where I need to be
Yeah, and I always thought I would end up
With you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do

Now I see her again
I ask to be her hummingbird
Whisper words in her ear
Oh now you know I just don't care

'Cause I'm always where I
Where I need to be
And I always thought
I would end up with you eventually
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do

I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man on the scene
I'm a man, and I can be so obscene
Because I always think that I know how to be
But I always thought that I would end up with you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do
I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man on the scene
I'm a man, and I can be so obscene

The Kooks are an English Rock band formed in Brighton, East Sussex, in 2004. The band was formed by Luke Pritchard (vocals/guitar), Hugh Harris (lead guitar), Paul Garred (drums), and Max Rafferty (bass guitar). The lineup of the band remained constant until the departure of Rafferty in 2008. Dan Logan served as a temporary replacement, until Peter Denton joined the band permanently in October 2008. Early in 2010, Pritchard announced the departure of drummer Paul Garred, due to a nerve problem in his arm. Late in the year, Garred rejoined for studio sessions, however Chris Prendergast played drums when the band play live.
