And I quit. I give up. Nothing's good enough for anybody else.

And being alone is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be.

When I'm all alone it's the best way to be.
When I'm by myself nobody else can say...

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends.
And we notice you don't come around.

Over and out.
