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 blue now than 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 heart of a red hot flame Better than buying your lame excuses Praying somehow someday you'll change [Chorus]
