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 

(Chorus)  I'd be better off blue for a couple of nights
Better off blue now then 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 

(Chorus)

Better off blue as a midnight hour
Blue as the heat or a red hot flame
Better that buying you lame excuse
Praying somehow  someday  you'll change 

(Chorus
