Who?s that knockin' in the middle of the night   With a hand full of flowers to make it all right   If you?re thinkin', I?ll forgive you one more time   I ain?t that lonely and love ain?t that blind      Well, I?d be better off blue for a couple of nights   Better blue now than the rest of my life   Better off findin' 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 have to 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 midnight hour   Blue as the heart of a red hot flame   Better than buying your lame excuses   Praying somehow someday you?ll change      Well, 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      For a couple of nights   For the rest of my life   Oh, somebody new   After what you put me through   Oh baby, I?m better off blue      Oh, baby blue   Oh, better off finding somebody new   After what you put me through
