I Can Do Bad By Myself

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

I can do that alone, yeah

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

Ooh, oh baby

Listen

The only time that you treat me sweet

Is when I get my paycheck at the end of every week

You go out and party and spend every cent, yeah

Don't leave me enough to pay the telephone bill or the rent

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

I can do that on my own

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

I'm not tryin' to be funny, honey

All day long you've been talkin' on the telephone

Braggin' to all your friends about the furniture in our home

But you don't tell them that I'm the one doin' it all

While you're out there livin' it up and havin' yourself a ball

I can do bad by myself

Yeah, I don't need no help to starve to death

I can do that on my own

I can do bad by myself

Oh, I don't need no help to starve to death

And oh, oh, oh, oh, love is a two-way street

You got to give if you wanna receive

Oh, it's got to be a fifty-fifty thing

It's so hard for one to do it all alone

So are you gonna hit the road or are you gonna share the load?

'Cause I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

I don't need no assistance for that

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

No baby, I sure can't use it

Play your guitar for me one time

Play it, oh, play on

I can tell that you, you feel the same as, the same as I do

Oh, oh, oh

I can do bad by myself

Huh, I don't need no help to starve to death

I can do that alone, mhm

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

I can do that on my own

Quiet as it's kept, I can do bad by myself, ooh

You've been ridin' around with other folks

When I'm the one payin' the notes, ooh, yeah, oh yes I am

Quiet as it's kept, I can do bad by myself, ooh

I'm tired of talkin' 'cause talk is cheap

And I need help to get on my feet, yes I do, yes I do

Quiet as it's kept, I can do bad by myself, ooh

I can do bad all by myself, yeah

You've been hangin' out with those friends of yours

Dippin' in at 6 AM through the front door

But I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death

I can do that alone, yeah

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help to starve to death
