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
