Lyrics
Since you've been gone, I've been time with myself
Haven't even tried to find somebody else
When you told me you were leavin'
It almost came as good news
Well, it may sound funny, but it's true
I'm better off without you
Not a day goes by
When you don't cross my mind
I think about you and everything that went wrong
At the same time, pretty baby
Think of all the hell you put me through
Yeah, if I had to choose
I'm better off with the blues
Better off, better off with the blues
Every time I'm goin' down to the bad part of town
Let the dude play the blues 'til the sun goes down
And I know just what to say
When someone asks me about you
Yeah, we had our good times
I'm better off with the blues
Well, I know someday I'll wake up and the blues will be gone
I'll forget about you and how everything went wrong
But if you had stayed, I'd be dead in my tracks
I still love you, baby, but I don't want you back
But if I had to choose, I'm better off with the blues
Yeah, if I had to choose, I'm better off without you
Yeah, if I had to choose, I'm better off without you
Better off without you
Don't need ya
Better off with the blues
Well, not a day goes by
When you don't cross my mind
Thinkin' about all the hell you put me through
Yeah, if I had to choose, better off without you
Better off without you
I don't need you
But wait a minute
Uh, maybe you shouldn't leave yet
Ha-ha-ha
