Better Off Lyrics

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
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
I hold you back when I hold your hand
You're better off when 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 o.k.
