Intro:
Oh, I guess that you thought I'd be happy
to have you back
you must think that you're cute coming out
of a magic act
but you got nothing to sell and I'm not under
your spell I'm well so
Here just so we're clear
Baby, I'd rather burn (baby I'd rather burn)
before I'd have you return (have you return)
You can fall to your knees (you can fall
to your knees)
begging, crying "but-please" (crying "but-please")
Leave your flowers at the door I can't take
any more
I'm so bored by "sorrys"
Oh in case you misheard - baby i'd rather burn
You can talk all you want but your words
don't mean anything
I was broken apart now I don't bow to any king
cause I'm a powerful queen and I mean
to be heard my word is
Here. and just so we're clear
Baby, I'd rather burn (baby I'd rather burn)
before I'd have you return (have you return)
You can fall to your knees (you can fall
to your knees)
begging, crying "but-please" (crying "but-please")
Leave your flowers at the door I can't
take any more
I'm so bored by "sorrys"
Oh in case you misheard
Baby I'd rather burn
oh I'd rather burn (oooh)
I just need you to hear so Ima try to be clear
baby I'd rather
I used to be broken down then I found
I don't need to please you so
here just so we're clear
Baby, I'd rather burn
before I'd have you return
You can fall to your knees (you can fall
to your knees)
begging, crying "but-please" (crying "but-please")
Leave your flowers at the door I can't take any more
I'm so bored by "sorrys"
Oh in case you misheard - baby i'd rather - burn
