Lyric Better Off Blue

(Susan Longacre/Walt Aldridge)

Who s that knocking in the middle of the night
With a hand full of flowers to make it all right
If you re thinking I ll forgive you one more time
I ain t that lonely and love ain t that blind

I d be better off blue for a couple of nights
Better blue now than the rest of my life
Better off finding somebody new
After what you put me through
Baby, I m better off blue

Wasn t it you who said it was over
Now you re out there wanting back in
It s the same old book with a brand new cover
I d have to be crazy to read it again

I d be better off blue for a couple of nights
Better blue now than the rest of my life
Better off finding somebody new
After what you put me through
Baby, I m better off blue

Better off blue as a midnight hour
Blue as the heart of a red hot flame
Better than buying your lame excuses
Praying somehow someday you ll change

I d be better off blue for a couple of nights
Better blue now than the rest of my life
Better off finding somebody new
After what you put me through
Baby, I m better off blue
