Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's just another one of those days

One of those days

That never ends

It's just another one of those days

One of those days

That keeps me cryin'

[Verse 2]

I'm just another one of your things

One of your things

That you've forgotten

I won't be just one of your games

Just one of your games

'Cause I can't be

[Verse 3]

So don't try

To play me like a fool

Cause I've been a fool for you

Don't try

To beg me for my love

Cause I'm better off as one

[Verse 4]

I'm not lonely bein' alone

'Cause I'm not alone

Inside my head

I'm not lonely just 'cause you're gone

You were already gone

Our love was always dead

[Verse 5]

So don't try

To play me like a fool

I've been a fool for you

So don't try

To beg me for my love

'Cause I'm better off as one

[Verse 6]

One plus one

Isn't always better than myself plus none

I need no one

One plus one

Leaves me feelin' less than when I had no one

I need no one

[Verse 7]

So don't try

To play me like a fool

'Cause I've been a fool for you

Don't try

To beg me for my love

'Cause I'm better off as one

[Verse 8]

Don't try

To play me like a fool

'Cause I've been a fool for you

So don't try

To beg me for my love

'Cause I'm better off as one
