Pam Tillis: "Better Off Blue" Lyrics

(susan longacre/walt aldridge)



Whos that knocking in the middle of the night

With a hand full of flowers to make it all right

If youre thinking Ill forgive you one more time

I aint that lonely and love aint that blind



Id 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, Im better off blue



Wasnt it you who said it was over

Now youre out there wanting back in

Its the same old book with a brand new cover

Id have to be crazy to read it again



Id 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, Im 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 youll change



Id 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, Im better off blue
