I don′t want to be your cigarette
I don't want to be your ashtray
I don′t want to be your door matDon'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
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
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
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
