Willie J Laws Jr - Better Off Blue

Oh yeah
Alright

Any man would gladly move a mountain
He'd cross a desert or face a raging storm
Uh huh
For a chance to love a woman
Ooh half as fine as yours

So don't be telling me that love's got you singing that sad refrain
About a heavy ball on a short, short chain
Love's not all about pleasing you
Maybe you'd be better off loveless and lonely
Maybe you'd be better off blue
Maybe baby
Better off blue
Yeah

Some nights she sits alone and wonders
Why she never seems to be enough for you
Where others see a bottle full of sunshine
Why is it
You only see an empty cup?

So don't be telling me that love has got you singing that sad refrain
About a heavy ball on a short, short chain
Love's not all about pleasing you
Maybe you'd be better off loveless and lonely
Maybe you'd be better off blue

Consider this fair warning
You better treat her right or soon you're gonna see
Another man will be drinking from her bottle
And don't be surprised if that man is me

So don't be tellin' me that love's got you singing that sad refrain
About a heavy ball on a short, short chain
Love's not all about pleasing you
Maybe you'll be better off loveless and lonely
Maybe you'll be better off loveless and lonely
Maybe you'll be better off loveless and lonely
Maybe you'll be better off blue
I don't know
Maybe you would be better off blue

You might want it that way
Maybe better off blue
Better off blue
