I Can Do Better Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh, yeah, you can do it
Ha, ha-ha!

[Verse 1]
I couldn't give a damn what you said to me
I don't really care what you think of me
'Cause either way, you're gonna think what you believe
There's nothing you could say that would hurt me

I'm better off without you anyway
I thought it would be hard, but I'm okay
I don't need you if you're gonna be that way
'Cause with me, it's all or nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sick of this shit, don't deny
You're a waste of time
I'm sick of this shit, don't ask why

[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better
Hey, hey you
I found myself again

That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better
[Verse 2]
You're so full of shit, I can't stand the way you act
I just can't comprehend
I don't think that you can handle it
I'm way over, over it
I will drink as much Limoncello as I can
And I'll do it again and again

I don't really care what you have to say
'Cause you know, you know you're nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
(I'm so sick) I'm sick of your shit, don't deny
You're a waste of time
I'm sick of your shit, don't ask why

[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better
Hey, hey you
I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better

[Bridge]
What'd ya say? (Uh, uh) I told you so
You know that (Uh, uh) 'cause I always know
Get outta my face, hey, hey (Oh)
You're not my taste, hey, hey
I am so sick of you (Sick of you)
You're on my nerves, I want to puke
Get outta my face, hey, hey
You're not my taste, hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better
Hey (Hey), hey you (Hey you)
I found (I found) myself again
That's why you're gone (You're gone)
I can do better, I can do better

[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long (So long)
I can do better, I can do better
Hey (Hey), hey you (Hey you)
I found myself again
That's why (That's why) you're gone (You're gone)
I can do better, I can do better

[Outro]
Huh!
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
