Loner

I don't want to be your cigarette

I don't want to be your ashtray

I don't want to be your doormat

Don't want to be ignored, all o' sudden, you're not into me

And maybe it's not deliberate

And I know you never asked me

I just gotta put it out there

I don't put myself out there, usually, I stay tucked away

'Cause I was a loner until I met you

And I let you in after all the persuasion

Mind games, manipulations

That's why I'd rather be a loner (Loner)

Yeah, I'd rather be alone (Alone)

I don't even want to know ya (Know ya)

I don't want to be known (To be known)

'Cause I'd rather be a loner (Loner)

I'd much rather be alone (Alone)

Baby, it was nice to know ya (Know ya)

Packing up and leaving home

No, I don't want to be your cigarette

Use me up then toss me, step on me

I don't want to be an option

Avoidin' interaction 'cause I just want to get away

And maybe you got a full plate

Know I'm cookin' something better

But if you don't want me now

No, boy, I don't want you later, don't try to come and eat with me

'Cause I was a loner until I met you

And I let you in after all the persuasion

Headaches and allegations

That's why I'd rather be a loner (Loner)

Yeah, I'd rather be alone (Alone)

I don't even want to know ya (Know ya)

I don't want to be known (To be known)

'Cause I'd rather be a loner (Loner)

I'd much rather be alone (Alone)

Baby, it was nice to know ya (Know ya)

Packing up and leaving home
