Lonely At Best

It's been hell tryin' to fix myself
Since you left
I've been runnin' round the city
Tryna get a man to fall in love with me

What I'm learnin
Is that there ain't nothin wrong with me, yeah
Each and every one of them
Are only after one God forsaken thing

Why can't you like me for my hair?
Hold me for my scent?
Respect me for the way I touch
And don't expect much else

I'm a woman who is looking
For a love like the last she had
Boys are filthy when it comes to the bed
I'm lonely at best

Turn on some music
Tell him I wanna slow dance
He said he's sorry, he can't stop thinking
While his hands find a comfy place to rest

I said "Just enjoy the moment"
But he couldn't
He'd been here before
Truth comes out, they walk right out that door

Why can't you like me for my hair?
Hold me for my scent?
Respect me for the way I touch
And don't expect much else

I'm a woman who is looking
For a love like the last she had
Boys are filthy when it comes to the bed
I'm lonely at best

How about the time
My ex took me downtown
He was sweet, escorting,
Protected me like I was golden

Oh, but when we got in the car
The heat was rising
I could smell the selfish affection
Before my clothes even dried

Why can't you like me for my hair?
Hold me for my scent?
Respect me for the way I touch
And don't expect much else

I'm a woman who is looking
For a love like the last she had
Boys are filthy when it comes to the bed
I'm lonely at best
