Better Off Blue — текст песни (Pam Tillis)

(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
