"I Can Do Bad All By Myself" lyrics - MARY J. BLIGE

Mmmmm
Ohh ohh
Ah yea
Ah ah yea

Somebody told me once that pain is a game that we all gotta play.
Then why am I in overtime and sudden death every other day.
I know that for the good of life theres a price we all gotta pay
But I'll pay till I'm poor and I still don't know what it is to have a good day.
Yeaa
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.

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 an make me frown just makes me look older.
And I don't need no one to black my eye an tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No no nono I can do bad all by myself

Somebody told me once that runnin from the rain don't make no sense.
I had my own dark cloud for awhile now, it goes where ever I'm goin.
Yeaa
Your tellin me the grass just might be greener on he other side.
But I don't wanna take a chance on dirt when I got grass even tho the grass has died.
Oohh since everybody knows what it is that I need to do,
Well do me a favor, let me worry bout me an you worry bout you

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 an make me frown just makes me look older.
And I don't need no one to black my eye an tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No no nono I can do bad all by myself

Don't waste time feelin bad for me
I didn't ask you for your sympathy
NOOO I know God is watchin over me
So I guess this I was suppose to be
Ohh yes

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 an make me frown just makes me look older.
And I don't need no one to black my eye an tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No no nono I can do bad all by myself
