Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll start this off without any words

I got so high, I scratched till I bled

Love myself better than you

Know it's wrong, so what should I do?

The finest day that I've ever had

Was when I learned to cry on command

Love myself better than you

Know it's wrong, so what should I do? (Ooh)

[Chorus]

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

I can't complain (Ooh)

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

[Verse 2]

My mother died every night

It's safe to say, don't quote me on that

Love myself better than you

Know it's wrong, so what should I do?

The black sheep got blackmailed again

Forgot to put on the zip code

Love myself better than you

Know it's wrong, so what should I do? (Ooh)

[Chorus]

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

I can't complain (Ooh)

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

[Bridge]

Somewhere I have heard this before

In a dream my memory has stored

As a defense, I'm neutered and spayed

What the hell am I tryin' to say?

[Verse 3]

It is now time to make it unclear

To write off lines that don't make sense

Love myself better than you

Know it's wrong, so what should I do?

And one more special message to go

And then I'm done, and I can go home

Love myself better than you

Know it's wrong, so what should I do? (Ooh)

[Chorus]

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

I can't complain (Ooh)

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

I can't complain (Ooh)

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

I can't complain (Ooh)

I'm on a plain (Ooh)

I can't complain (Ooh)

I'm on a plain (Ooh, ooh)
