No One But Myself

from Reluctantly Yours (ep) by Jessica Smucker

/

lyrics

Everybody wants a piece of me
and you know me, I try to oblige
but listen up, the party’s over now.
I’m not giving in this time.

What started as a yes became a hard, resounding no
I stood up to those fools and told them all where they can go
I thought I could be everything to everybody else
but now I know there ain’t no pleasing no one but myself

Being nice won’t get a girl anywhere
but it’s always been my way
If you come back later you might wear me down
but it’s not happening today

What started as a yes became a hard, resounding no
I stood up to those fools and told them all where they can go
I thought I could be everything to everybody else
but now I know there ain’t no pleasing no one but myself

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…

What started as a yes became a hard, resounding no
I stood up to those fools and told them all where they can go
I thought I could be everything to everybody else
but now I know there ain’t no pleasing no one but myself

Yeah, now I know there ain’t no pleasing no one but myself
