I bought a bucket
And waited for it to rain
But I cried when it got cloudy
And I cursed it when it cleared
And then fell prey to jealousy

And I thought I learned some things
But I didn't learn nothing
Nothing at all

Refrain:

I'd rather make do and get it on my own
And not fall prey to jealousy
I'd rather not slip and then look around
Not fall prey to that part of me
I'd rather make do, rather let go
And not feel judged by so-and-so
Inside of me

I tried to make it on my own

And I thought I learned some things
But I didn't learn nothing
Nothing at all

Refrain
