You keep me in your orbit

Well, I know I'm a hard one to please

Give it too much importance

My love'll have you fall to your knees

I tell them this too often

Know better than to bark up my tree

Just for me to fall and leave

Nah, I'd rather just watch you smoke and drink, yeah

Steering clear of any headaches to start

And if we're being honest

I'd rather your body than half of your heart

Or jealous-ridden comments

That come when you let in them feelings

That I don't want

I never let 'em know too much

Hate gettin' too emotional, yeah

I'm better off without 'em

I'm better off being a wild one

On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand

So that I'm better off not being around ya'

Go on and face it, I'll never be ready for you, ready for you

I swear my love is a curse, make you head over shoes (head over shoes)

Let's put them topics to bed and go

Fuck on the roof, just to say that we did it

You keep insisting I listen to your proposition

I dismiss them all, no offence, yeah

Steering clear of any headaches to start

And if we're being honest

I'd rather your body than half of your heart

Or jealous-ridden comments

That come when you let in them feelings that I don't want

I never let 'em know too much

Hate gettin' too emotional, yeah

I'm better off without him

I'm better off being a wild one

On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand

So that I'm better off not being around ya

I'm better off without him

I'm better off being a wild one

On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand

So that I'm better off not being around ya
