You'll say
We've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
We've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say
The world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care
The world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care
And I said, "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said, "I think I remember the film
And as I recall, I think we both kind of liked it"
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"
She said, "I think I remember the film
And as I recall, I think we both kind of liked it"
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"
I see you
The only one who knew me
But now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
The only one who knew me
But now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now?
It's plain to see we're over
And I hate when things are over
But so much is left undone
It's plain to see we're over
And I hate when things are over
But so much is left undone
And I said, "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said, "I think I remember the film
And as I recall, I think we both kind of liked it"
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"
She said, "I think I remember the film
And as I recall, I think we both kind of liked it"

No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
That we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say
The world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care
The world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care

About"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a 1995 song recorded by American alternative rock band Deep Blue Something. Originally appearing on the album 11th Song, it was later re-recorded and released on their album Home. It was the band's only hit, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside the United States, the song topped the charts in the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Belgium (Flanders), Canada, Germany, the Republic of Ireland and Sweden.
Todd Pipes said in a Q magazine about the promotion of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "As the song had 'breakfast' in the title, radio stations thought it would be genius to have us on at breakfast time. We'd be up till 3 am and they'd wonder why we were pissed off playing at 6 am." Follow-up singles failed to match the success of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", hence the reason for the band's classification as a one-hit wonder.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is sung from the point of view of a man whose girlfriend is on the verge of breaking up with him because the two have nothing in common. Desperate to find something, the man brings up the Audrey Hepburn film Breakfast at Tiffany's, and his girlfriend recalls that they "both kinda liked it." He argues that this should serve as enough motivation for them to work out their problems based on the notion that love will always find a way to make things work.
The film Roman Holiday inspired the lyrics of the song, but songwriter Todd Pipes thought that one of Hepburn's other films would make a better song title.
Brian Wahlert called Breakfast at Tiffany's "a cute, catchy song that should fit in well on adult contemporary, Top-40 and alternative radio" with memorable melody that makes it "a perfect single, along with the mildly repetitive, conversational lyrics of the chorus and the bright, acoustic guitar". However, Tom Sinclair of Entertainment Weekly was unimpressed. He called it "possibly the year's most innocuous single, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is distressingly prosaic pop from a wimpy-sounding Texas quartet"; he added that it lacked any "musical piquancy". The Houston Press listed the song as the second worst by an artist from Texas, after Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby".
VH1 and Blender ranked the song #6 on their list of the "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever".
The music video features the band members arriving to a breakfast table and being served by butlers, beside the curb in front of Tiffany & Co. in Midtown Manhattan. At the end of the video an Audrey Hepburn lookalike walks past on the sidewalk, and takes off her sunglasses.
