RATHER BE ALONE

[Chorus: Leon Thomas, Leon Thomas & Halle]
I'd rather be alone, rather be alone
Than in a broken home
I'd rather be alone
Tryin' to do this for the both of us on my own

[Post-Chorus: Leon Thomas & Halle]
Oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh

[Refrain: Leon Thomas]
Watchin' it all, catchin' your fall
Alluding every lesson, losin' all direction
Details matter, I pay attention, oh

[Verse 1: Leon Thomas]
Takin' all your money, eatin' all your dough
Always leave me wantin' more
'Cause you're unpredictable, and I'm used to having control
Risk is acquired, I pay the toll
Just numb the pain, touchin' on some Ms
Make your own bread like the good father said
Watch your homies, release all your stress
My heart's bulletproof, I'm wearing a vest

[Chorus: Leon Thomas, Halle & Both]
I'd rather be alone, rather be alone (Oh)
Than in a broken home
I'd rather be alone (Oh, be alone; ah)
Rather be alone
Tryin' to do this for the both of us on my own

[Post-Chorus: Leon Thomas & Halle, Halle, Leon Thomas]
Oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh (Alone)
Oh-oh-oh, oh (Oh, yeah; ah)
Oh

[Verse 2: Halle]
I take my time losin' my mind
I'm thinkin' of you all of the time (Time, time)
'Cause without you I'm crazy
You're dangerous, my baby, we're broken, but beautiful
So don't you give up, up on me, baby
Wrap your arms tight around me and remember
Without you I'm afraid, ooh

[Chorus: Halle, Leon Thomas & Both]
But you'd rather be alone, you'd rather be alone
Than in a broken home (Oh)
You'd rather be alone (Ah)
Tryin' to do this for the both of us on my own

[Post-Chorus: Leon Thomas & Halle, Halle]
Oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Ah

[Outro: Leon Thomas & Halle]
Watchin' it all, catchin' your fall (I'd rather be alone)
Alluding every lesson, losin' all direction
Details matter I pay attention, oh
