Who's that knocking in the middle of the night

With a hand full of flowers to make it all right

If you're thinking i'll forgive you one more time

I ain't that lonely and love ain't that blind



(Chorus) I'd be better off blue for a couple of nights

Better off blue now then the rest of my life

Better off finding somebody new

After what you put me through

Baby, I'm better off blue



wasn't it you who said it was over

now you're out there wanting back in

it's the same old book with a brand new cover

I'd have to be crazy to read it again



(Chorus)



Better off blue as a midnight hour

Blue as the heat or a red hot flame

Better that buying you lame excuse

Praying somehow someday you'll change



(Chorus
