Slammin' doors, pedals floored, nothin' but tail light red On repeat, losing sleep every night in this bed Now you're a couple drinks in, two in the a. m. Sayin' we should patch things up Forget about the leavin', kiss and call it even I know what you're thinkin', but
I'd rather be lonely (Oh, oh-oh-oh) Sittin' at the end of an empty bar Both hands on a cold drink, yeah (Oh, oh-oh-oh) Lettin' that jukebox break my heart Yeah baby, just me, myself and Jack Ain't that hard not wantin' you back Even if you were the only (Oh, oh-oh-oh) I'd rather be, I'd rather be I'd rather be lonely
Wakin' up, still half-drunk, forever all by myself Go through life, livin' just like I'll never find someone else Love ain't a light switch, can't turn it off Then try and turn it right back on Baby, a goodbye is only good one time Even if the love ain't gone
I'd rather be lonely (Oh, oh-oh-oh) Sittin' at the end of an empty bar Both hands on a cold drink, yeah (Oh, oh-oh-oh) Lettin' that jukebox break my heart Yeah baby, just me, myself and Jack Ain't that hard not wantin' you back Even if you were the only (Oh, oh-oh-oh) I'd rather be, I'd rather be I'd rather be lonely
(I'd rather be, I'd rather be lonely)
Ooh, how you gonna leave like that? Ooh, callin' me up, tryna take it all back Now you're a couple drinks in, two in the a. m. Sayin' we should patch things up Forget about the leavin', kiss and call it even I know what you're thinkin', but
I'd rather be lonely (Oh, oh-oh-oh) Sittin' at the end of an empty bar Both hands on a cold drink, yeah (Oh, oh-oh-oh) Lettin' that jukebox break my heart Yeah baby, just me, myself and Jack Ain't that hard not wantin' you back Even if you were the only (Oh, oh-oh-oh) (Even if you were the only) I'd rather be, I'd rather be I'd rather be lonely (Oh, oh-oh-oh) I'd rather be, I'd rather be lonely I'd rather be
Yeah baby, just me, myself and Jack Ain't that hard not wantin' you back Even if you were the only (Oh, oh-oh-oh) (Even if you were the only) I'd rather be, I'd rather be I'd rather be lonely
