I Can Get This By Myself

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...
