I'd Rather Be Alone

Karyn White

Mmm...mmm...

I don't wanna be a fool, I don't wanna be a fool for love

No, no, I won't, no

Hey, no, ooh...



I know that people do go through changes, yeah

But this just don't make no damn sense

If we're gonna keep sayin' we love one another, yeah, yeah

Well, then we better stop fightin' and arguin'



'Cause baby, I've heard "I'm sorry" too many, many times before

Now I know better

It hurts to hold on to this kind of love even more

No, I'm not crazy



I won't be a fool, a fool for love

Cause I know I'd rather be alone than be here unhappy

I'm not gonna choose, choose for you

'Cause I know I'd rather be alone than be here unhappy



I know it's time to go when I feel lonely

When I'm layin' in your arms and it don't feel right, oh

'Cause every time I feelin' up you try to bring me down

So I feel good knowin' I don't need you around



'Cause I know, I know that I can feel this bad all by myself, hoo, yeah

And maybe that's my best bet

Startin' this time I'm gonna think selfishly

And never depend on someone else for keepin' me happy, oh, no, no



I won't be a fool, a fool for love

'Cause I know I'd rather be alone than be here unhappy, oh, no

I'm not gonna choose, choose for you

'Cause I know I'd rather be alone than be here unhappy, oh...



I-I-I-I won't be a fool, a fool for love

'Cause I know I'd rather be alone than be here unhappy

I'm not gonna choose, choose for you

'Cause I know I'd rather be alone than be here unhappy, ooh, yeah



I'm never gonna be a fool for love

I'd rather be alone, just give it up

Don't make no sense to be in love

And be here unhappy, oh, no



It might feel good on a lonely night

But layin' in your arms today ain't right

I'd rather lose you than lose my mind

And be here unhappy with you, ba
