ReviewsKerrang!: "The single sums up a good introduction to the rock 'n' roll newcomers, the track is carried by a heavy and hardhitting bassline that powers the song up, the drums are true to every beat and the guitar is great. The singer also shows off his wit and confidence through these lyrics and sings the song well. Not a bad start for topLADS."
Zain Lowe (BBC Radio 1):
"The song is catchy, the lyrics are cocky, but still show that they're a down to earth bunch. Concidering that this is their first release they can have no complaints."
Amplified:
"A highly reccomended single from a new band that have been tearing up the local touring scene in London. They prove that they deserve to be here to stay through their unique style of alternative rock mixed with a little bit of pop-rock put into the mix. Every individual member of the band show their immense quality and ability in this track. Looking forward to hearing more from this band."
Lyrics:
Sleeping beside me, all hung over
Are you pleased to see me?
When you realise that's he's coming home
Are you pleased to see me?
'cause we talked, then we walked for about an eternity
We shared drinks, then a kiss and then things got a little dirty
He's stepping through the door
He's not pleased to see me
You don't need him
You need me
Don't give him all that shit about how it's not you, it's me
Don't say it was the drinks
I know how you think
You want to be here with me
I'm better than your average Joe
Do you still believe me?
Tell you things that I know that no one else knows
Do you still believe me?
'cause we kissed for a while, while you were in denial
Sweaty nights for a smile
Are you pleased to see me?
You're asking for more, while he's in tears on the floor
I guess you believe me
You don't need him
You need me
Don't give him all that shit about how it's not you, it's me
Don't say it was the drinks
I know how you think
You want to be here with me
And you'll never know happiness like this
He makes you cry, I make you beg for a kiss
Swapping sadness and pain for eternal bliss
It's an oportunity too good to miss
Sleeping beside me, all hung over
Are you pleased to see me?
When you realise that's he's coming home
Are you pleased to see me?
I'm better than your average Joe
Do you still believe me?
He's stepping through the door
He's not pleased to see me
