I don't want to be your cigarette I don't want to be your ashtray I don't want to be your door mat 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 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
