(Tony McCaulay , John McLeod) It's better by far to turn and go your way with him Stay with him and let him know the things That I can never know the way things are ( Ooh Oh Ooh Oh ) I said it's better by far to tell myself it's been worthwhile To try to smile and let him turn the key To lock away this aching heart Better by far to end this way, Call it a day with no regrets Better by far to end it now, Forget somehow we never ever met Whenever things are the way they are, It's better by far Try as I may to make-believe my heart was wrong The pain grows on, and as we say goodbye I hold my head up high until you've gone Better by far to end it now, Forget somehow we ever met Better by far to stop and say, Call it a day with no regrets While things are the way they are, It's better by far Better by far to end this way, Forget the day with no regret Better by far to stop and say, Call it a day we never met While things are the way they are, It's better by far --- .
