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
Oh baby, I'm better off blue
Wasn't it you who said it was over?
Now you're out there wanting back in
Well, it's the same old book with a brand new cover
I'd 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
Oh baby, I'm better off blue
Better off blue as a night in Cuba
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, better blue now
I'd be better off finding somebody new
After what you put me through
Yeah baby, I'm better off blue
Oh, for a couple of nights
Better blue now than the rest of my life
Better off finding somebody new
Oh, after what you put me through
Oh baby, I'm better off blue
