ANNIKA - Things I'd Rather Do (Official Music Video)
“Things I’d Rather Do” blends retro blues with country pop. The end result is a rock ‘n’ roll tune that showcases ANNIKA’s soulful voice.
Just like the song’s lyrics, the music video is fun and cheeky. ANNIKA’s sassy side shines with this one!

LYRICS
I’d rather stand in line at the DMV
Get my car towed on Christmas Eve
Do my taxes every day of the week
Baby, you know it’s true
Have a root canal with no Novocaine
Walk a hundred miles in the pourin’ rain
Get hit by a runaway train
Just some things I’d rather do…than see you
Oh no
Hey hey hey
Oh no
I’d rather wake up in a den of snakes
‘Cause I spent enough time with one anyway
Slip in the shower and break my legs
Kiss a stranger with the flu
Get stuck in rush hour on every drive
Stick my head in an angry beehive
Dig a hole and get buried alive
Just some things I’d rather do…than see you
Oh no
Hey hey hey
Oh no
Well I’ve been cryin’
‘Cause you were lyin’
I don’t know why my heart’s still on the line
Fooled me once, you fooled me twice
I’ll be fooled ‘til the end of time
Oh no
Hey hey hey
So boy if you ever come back around
I might as well walk into a burnin’ house
‘Cause you burned me too many times to count
No that ain’t nothin’ new
There’s no tellin’ what I’d do
What I’d do
If I see you
Hey hey hey
Oh no
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
I said If I see you
No no no
Hey hey hey
If I see you, no no, if I see you
Hey hey hey
Oh no
If I see youOhhh
I regret the mistake every time that I make it
You walk away and I wanna remake it
So here we go again
I don’t know why when I see you I don’t take off runnin’
And I ain’t blind, that smile and your eyes don’t mean nothin’, no
I don’t need to wait boy, I’m already sufferin’
Every time you leave you just leave me wonderin’
Why do I love you when it kills me
Ohhh, no, no
You kill me
