[Intro]
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Why you always trippin' on the good life?
You say you are simple, but it's all lies
You need more attention, are you deprived?
I already gave you all my free time
Please don't make me take it there
I've been in my bag, gotta leave you in my past
Then you reappear
Tell me why you're back, throw the thing on my lap
You don't make it fair
You know what a n***a 'bout to do and all that
Let me make it clear
I ain't never gonna change, I ain't never going back 'cause

[Chorus]
I do better when I'm by myself
Dealin' with you ain't good for my health, ah, yeah
Baby, you should be with someone else
'Cause I do better when I'm by myself, I do better, hey
I do better when I'm by myself (By myself)
I do better when I'm by myself (By myself, yeah)
Baby you should be with someone else
'Cause I do better when I'm by myself
[Verse 2]
I go subtle 'cause it's all I know
I hope that you can wait for me while I grow
I don't want you now, maybe one day
I'm hoping that we can end up in the same space
Until then I'ma do this (Do this)
Pick up, who this? Don't be foolish
Love it, lose it
That's the truest cycle, know it's stupid
Might've ruined somethin' (Special)
Yeah, I knew it, put you through it
I'm amused with music, you just been intrudin'
Let me do this ('Cause)

[Chorus]
I do better when I'm by myself
Dealin' with you ain't good for my health, aw, yeah
Baby, you should be with someone else
'Cause I do better when I'm by myself (I do better, hey)
I do better when I'm by myself (By myself)
I do better when I'm by myself (By myself, yeah)
Baby, you should be with someone else (Someone else, yeah)
'Cause I do better when I'm by myself

[Outro]
I got choices, I got voices runnin' through my head
I know I got problems, God can't solve them, he left me on read
I know [?][2:18] to drunken nights and tuck me in my bed
When somebody new that's more exciting [?][2:22]
I do better by myself
Better by myself
You should be with someone else
'Cause I do better by myself
