[Chorus 1]
Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy?
Why would I spend the rest of this year alone?
When I can go therapy, when I can go therapy
When I can go therapy, two times a day

[Chorus 2]
Why would I spend the rest of this week so bitter?
And all that listenin' is makin' you bitter too
When I can go therapy, when I can go therapy
When I can go therapy, two times a day

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be around me
And I don't blame you if you're blocking all my calls
Been awhile since I've been sleeping soundly
Most nights I lie awake, between 2 and 4
Work is stressing me out
And after all this time, it's still never enough

[Chorus 1]
Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy?
Why would I spend the rest of this year alone?
When I can go therapy, when I can go therapy
When I can go therapy, two times a day

[Verse 2]
I care more about what you think than I care about the music
When I get cross with you, I'm surprised you care at all
I figure if I had a lifetime of time left
Well shame on me if I don't get to use it well
Yeah I'm stressin' you out
And at the way it's goin', you'll need it more than me

[Chorus 1]
Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy?
Why would I spend the rest of this year alone?
When I can go therapy, when I can go therapy
When I can go therapy, two times a day

[Bridge]
Someone, help me, turn me 'round
I'm a victim
Hate the sound of my own voice
Turn it down
And all I do is aggravate you

[Chorus 2]
Why would I spend the rest of my days so bitter?
And all that listenin' is makin' you bitter too
When I can go therapy, when I can go therapy
When I can go therapy, two times a day

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
