Better Off

I could call your mother to tell her the truth,

She could give the message to you.

I could write a letter or give you a note,

But I won't,

I won't.

Because you're better off

To never know

My alibi

Which is loving you so.

I never cheated or looked astray,

Don't know who spread that fire,

But I think that you know deep down inside

You are my hearts desire.

Because you're better off

To never know

My alibi

Which is loving you so.

I hold you back, I hold your hand.

You're better off when your're your own man.

Baby, take your last look, don't say goodbye.

Love don't mean that much anyway.

Don't give me a hard time if I close my eyes,

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I could write a letter or give you a note,

But I won't,

I won't.
