I Can Do Bad All By Myself Lyrics – Mary J Blige

Mmmmm
Ohh ohh
Ah yea
Ah ah yea

[Verse 1]
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 pay
But I'll pay till I'm poor and I still don't know what it is to have a good day.
Yeah
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]
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 and tell me lies
Don't wanna cry over nobody else
No 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 awhile now, it goes where ever I'm going.
Yeah
Your telling 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.
Oh 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]
Some feel real bad for me
I didn't ask you for your sympathy
No I know God is watching over me
So I guess that the good I was suppose to be
Ohh yes

[Chorus to the end]
