[Verse 1]

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



[Hook]

That's why I'd rather be a loner

Yeah I'd rather be alone

I don't even want to know ya

I don't want to be known

Cause I'd rather be a loner

I'd much rather be alone

Baby, it was nice to know ya

Packing up and leaving home



[Verse 2]

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



[Hook]

That's why I'd rather be a loner

Yeah I'd rather be alone

I don't even want to know ya

I don't want to be known

Cause I'd rather be a loner

I'd much rather be alone

Baby, it was nice to know ya

Packing up and leaving home
