Lyrics

Better Off Alone

Words and Music: Graeme Connors & G. Scruggs

At a quarter to midnight she was pacing the floor
Asking herself what am I loving him for
He?s been out on the town six nights in a row
If this is how it?s gonna be I?d be better off alone
As she walked to her car the night was cold and still
She thought to herself I?ll drive up to Lover?s Hill
And I?ll tell each and every star how this man has done me wrong
And I?m sure they?ll agree I?d be better off alone
Mmm better off alone

He was closing the store as the clock was striking twelve
He?d been working extra hours he was proud of himself
To surprise her with a ring he?d worked his fingers to the bone
He joked to his boss I?d be better off alone
Now the road to his house went right by Lover?s Hill
When he saw her car parked there well his heart it just stood still
What could she be doing God I hope I?m wrong
If she?s there with someone else I?d be better off alone
Mmm better off alone

He parked his car beside her got out and cut the lights
She rolled down her window and looked up in surprise
When he saw that she?d been crying he said Babe what?s going on
And through her tears she whispered I?d be better off alone
Then he kissed her through the window and wiped away her tears
Told her ?bout his secret she told him ?bout her fears
He said we?ll get your car tomorrow come on I?ll drive you home
The way that I?m feeling we?d be better off alone
Mmm better off alone
Mmm better off alone
