[Verse 1]
I don't want to be your cigarette
I don't want to be your ashtray
I don't want to be your doormat
Don't want to be ignored
All o' sudden you're not into me
And maybe it's not deliberate
And I know you never asked me
I just gotta put it out there
I don't put myself out there
Usually, I stay tucked away

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I was a loner until I met you
And I let you in after all the persuasion
Mind games, manipulations

[Chorus]
That's why I'd rather be a loner (loner)
Yeah, I'd rather be alone (alone)
I don't even want to know ya (know ya)
I don't want to be known (to be known)
'Cause I'd rather be a loner (loner)
I'd much rather be alone (alone)
Baby, it was nice to know ya (know ya)
Packing up and leaving home

[Verse 2]
No, I don't want to be your cigarette
Use me up then toss me, step on me
I don't want to be an option
Avoidin' interaction, 'cause
I just want to get away
And maybe you got a full plate
Know I'm cookin' something better
But if you don't want me now
No, boy, I don't want you later
Don't try to come and eat with me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I was a loner until I met you
And I let you in after all the persuasion
Headaches and allegations

[Chorus]
That's why I'd rather be a loner (loner)
Yeah, I'd rather be alone (alone)
I don't even want to know ya (know ya)
I don't want to be known (to be known)
'Cause I'd rather be a loner (loner)
I'd much rather be alone (alone)
Baby, it was nice to know ya (know ya)
Packing up and leaving home

[Outro]
(Scatting)

Kali Uchis

Karly-Marina Loaiza (born July 17, 1994), better known as her stage name Kali Uchis, is a Colombian-American singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director, and fashion designer.

Sporting a 50’s aesthetic (from which Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald are cited influences), Kali’s brand of art pop spans the length of many genres of soul (doo-wop, reggae, funk, quiet storm, psychedelia) with a Latina twist.

Kali grew up playing saxophone and piano; she was introduced to music production and video editing while she was in high school and released her debut project Drunken Babble in 2012. Since then, Kali has gone on to release a 2015 EP, Por Vida, and her debut album, Isolation, in 2018.
