You know sometimes
You have to put yourself first
I'm doin' me

Yeah, yeah
Eh, eh, eh

Said I
Said I
Yeah yeah, eh

Sometimes as women we give more than we should
To a man that just don't treat us good, no

Gave him my heart my time
Did all that I could
In the past
To keep him here with me, yeah

But now I woke up,
Opened both my eyes up
Realize that I don't need any other.

Man, if you can't love me equally,
Then you don't need to be with me
Nothing more beautiful then knowing you're worth
And finally, yeah uh
I know exactly what I deserve

[Chorus]
Doin me, this time around
Doin' me, don't need you now
I rather be by myself,
I won't let your drama hold me down
Doin' me, this time around
Doin me, I've finally found
I'd rather be by myself, I'm doin' me
Yeah

Won't spend another minute wasting my time
On a man, hey, that only tells me lies, no
Ain't saying no, no, no, no that I don't need love
But them games, I don't need that in my life, no

Doin' me, this time around
Doin' me, don't need you now
I'd rather be by myself,
I won't let your drama hold me down
Doin' me, this time around
Doin' me, I've finally found
I'd rather be by myself, I'm doin' me.

I could pray for you to act right everyday
But it ain't up to me to make you change
Life is too damn short to live unhappily
So I'm being selfish putting myself in first place

Doin me, this time around
Doin' me, don't need you now
I rather be by myself,
I won't let your drama hold me down
Doin' me, this time around
Doin me, I've finally found
I'd rather be by myself, I'm doin' me.
Yeah yeah

I'm doing me
This time around
I'm doing me
This time around
No more crying, going through hell
It's so good, I'm lovin' myself
I'm doin' me
This time around
I'm doin' me
I'm doin' me
Yeah yeah
I'm doin' me
Yeah yeah
