[Verse 1]
The goodbye is the hardest part
When we find ourselves back at the start
But I'm not so brave, and I'm not so smart
No, I'm doing you a favor, doing you a favor
One day you will understand
Why I pushed you away as I ran
And you will find a better man than I am
Trust, I'm doing you a favor, doing you a favor (Ooh)

[Chorus]
Despicable, I'm just a bottom feeder
I'm despicable, (Um) I ain't never been a keeper
I'm despicable, (Yeah) love her then I leave her
And if I were you, I wouldn't love me neither
I wouldn't love me neither

[Verse 2]
The boy who fell into the sky
Had no one there to watch him cry
He looked at you with his empty eyes
And he said, "I'm doing you a favor, doing you a favor" (Ooh)

[Chorus]
Despicable, I'm just a bottom feeder
I'm despicable, (Oh) I ain't never been a keeper
I'm despicable, love her then I leave her
And if I were you, I wouldn't love me neither
I wouldn't love me neither
[Verse 3]
How I wish I told a different tale (Yeah)
Like we chased the light, and his love prevailed
But his blood ran cold, and his skin went pale
She got a letter in the mail, said: "I'm doing you a favor, doing you a favor" (Ooh)

[Outro]
Said: "If I were you, I wouldn't love me neither"
Said: "If I were you, I wouldn't love me neither"
