Lately Janie's into goin' crazy Spends her time lookin' for a place to turn Now she's into walkin' around Tears in her eyes and her head hangin' down Actin' like the only one The only one who ever got burned... I can bet this by myself (I can get this by myself) What makes you think I need your pain (I can get this by myself) I can get this by myself (I can get this by myself) And Davie's bitter 'cause he's undiscovered He feels like he's owed and it's overdue Now he's killin' another night Tellin' everyone what ain't gone right And cryin' in his beer till somehow He turns it all back on you... I can bet this by myself (I can get this by myself) What makes you think I need your pain (I can get this by myself) I can get this by myself (I can get this by myself) Johnny's got a needle that he calls Madonna He thinks it's so romantic, then he nods and drools Says he needs a little taste to just unwind But for three long years he's been drivin' blind Spending all his time Sailing on a ship of fools... I can bet this by myself (I can get this by myself) What makes you think I need your pain (I can get this by myself) I can get this by myself (I can get this by myself) I don't need this again... I don't need this...
