Better Off

I could call your mother to tell her the truth
She could give the message to you
I could write a letter or give you a note,
But I won't, I won't.

Because you're better off
To never know
My alibi
Which is loving you so

I never cheated or looked astray
Don't know who spread that fire
But I think that you know deep down inside
You are my hearts desire

Because you're better off
To never know
My alibi
Which is loving you so

I hold you back when I hold your hand
You're better off when you're your own man

Baby, take your last look
Don't say goodbye
Love don't mean that much anyway
Don't give me a hard time if I close my eyes
I'm okay
I'm okay

I could write a letter or give you a note,
But I won't, I won't.
