One time I was down and out
And out and in
Well I had myself a little problem
But that's not where I want to begin
Cause lately there's been a funny feeling
That's peering out from inside
I thought that I loved you baby but
I know I got to survive

And I know, know in my heart
It's better that we're apart
I love you but you ain't no friend
This is where I want to be grinnin'

Grinnin' all the time
You're on your way, I'm on mine

Now this sordid little tale
Has come to an end
All those evenings I was gone and you were
Hanging out with your so-called friends
But a rumor is a rumor, I want the truth
I wasn't born yesterday, I know what you're up to

And I know down in my heart
It's better that we're apart
I love you but you ain't no friend
This is where I want to be grinnin'

Grinnin' all the time
You're on your way, I'm on mine
