Long, long ago in the years BC 
The women used to gossip while they made their tea 
It's been our method of survival, right from the start 
But girl you've really gone and turned it into an art 

After I see you I feel dirty as hell 
Like you've contaminated me with that peculiar smell 
That comes from dishing up the dirt on all your closest friends 
"I mean like what the hell is with her, I mean, no offence" 

So please don't take it to heart 
When I say can we start to spend time apart 
But frankly my dear 
This friendship is toxic 
Like a fox and a hound 

I like you better when you're not around 

Don't wanna hear about your bitchy scene 
And I don't really care who gave who what disease 
As if don't even know you say just the same about me 
Do you really think I'm that naïve? 

So please don't take it to heart 
If I say can we start to spend time apart 
Cause frankly my dear 
This friendship is toxic 
Like a fox and a hound 

I like you better when you're not around 

I L-I-K-E U BETTER WHEN U R N-O-T AROUND 

So please don't take it to heart 
If I say can we start to spend time apart 
Cause frankly my dear 
This friendship is toxic 
Like a fox and a hound 

I like you better when you're not around
