[Chorus]
Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about through
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Darlin', darlin'
You know if you cared anything about love
You would've been front and center
Lovin' me and touchin' me
Honey, honey
You know if you knew anything about me
You would've been much more tender
Oh, squeezin' me, caressin' me
You could've had about anything you wanted
But you messed it up
You had to be tough
You told your friends
You had me wrapped around your finger
You were talking kinda cocky
Like you had it goin' on
All the while you knew
That things were kinda shaky
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on?

[Chorus]

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Sugar, sugar
You know if you knew anything about sweet
You would've been talkin' to me
Everyday
Seven days a week
Baby, baby
You should've been givin' me
A little more time
But you were just much too busy
Abusin' me and usin' me
I would've done about anything
You wanted
I was there for you
I was crazy about you
When I was sittin', thinkin'
I was kinda special
You were runnin' 'round
Hittin' every other girl in town
How could you love me
When you knew you played me funny?
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on?

[Chorus]

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Deep in my heart
You were number one to start
But then you changed
You threw my heart away
Told your friends that
You were runnin' things
Why'd it have to be that way?
You're wrong
Dead wrong
Tell me how
How can we go wrong?

[Chorus]

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
