I Can Do Bad All By Myself

Somebody told me once that pain is a game we all gotta play.Then why am I in overtime and sudden death every other day.I know that for the good of life there's a price we all gotta payBut I'll pay till I'm poor and I still don't know what it is to have a good day, yeahSince everybody knows what it is that I need to do.Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you.[Chorus]I don't need no one to put me down,I'm on the ground, can't get no lower.And I don't need no one to hang around and make me frown just makes me look older.And I don't need no one to black my eye and tell me liesDon't wanna cry over nobody elseNo no no no I can do bad all by myself[Verse 2]Somebody told me once that running from the rain don't make no sense.I had my own dark cloud for a while now, it goes where ever I'm going, yeahThey're telling me the grass just might be greener on the other side.But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt when I got grass even though the grass has died.Since everybody knows what it is that I need to do.Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me and you worry bout you.[Chorus][Bridge]Don't waste time feeling bad for meI didn't ask you for your sympathyNo I know God is watching over meSo I guess this is where I'm supposed to be Ohh yes[Instrumental][Chorus]
