For a couple of nights
Oh baby, I’m better off blue
Better blue now than the rest of my life
Oh baby, I’m better off blue

Well, I’d be better off blue for a couple of nights
Blue as the heart of a red hot flame
After what you put me through
Better than buying your lame excuses
Oh, baby blue
I’d be better off blue for a couple of nights
After what you put me through
Now you’re out there wanting back in
After what you put me through
For the rest of my life
If you’re thinkin', I’ll forgive you one more time
Better off finding somebody new
After what you put me through
Well, I’d be better off blue for a couple of nights

After what you put me through

Better off findin' somebody new

Wasn’t it you who said it was over
Oh baby, I’m better off blue

Oh, better off finding somebody new
Better off blue as a midnight hour
Well, it’s the same old book with a brand new cover
I ain’t that lonely and love ain’t that blind
I’d have to be crazy to read it again
Better blue now than the rest of my life
Oh baby, I’m better off blue
Praying somehow someday you’ll change
Oh, somebody new
Better blue now than the rest of my life
Better off finding somebody new
