Better Off Dead Songtext
von Randy Newman

When you fall in love with someone
Who doesn′t love you

Someone who treats you so badly
It ramifies your head
Someone who doesn't want you
But won′t let you go
Someone who thinks you're crazy
And tells you so over and over
This happens to you
You'd be better off dead

You might be surprised to learn how often
It can happen


A love affair
And boy does it hurt
You fall in love with someone
Who you really care
Who treats you like you was dirt
They make you feel all fat and fumbly
Make you feel kind of dirty, flirty
Hey, I′m talking to you
Did you hear what I said?

Better off dead
Than living with someone
Whose every word′s like a knife that cuts through you
Better off dead
Than living with someone
Who just doesn't give a shit what happens to you
You know that it′s wrong
But you go on and on and on
Better off dead

Better off dead
Better off dead

When you fall in love with someone
Who doesn't love you


Better run for daylight
Just as fast as you can
Forget your foolish dreams and schemes
That things will work out in the end
Put some real mileage between yourself
And the object of your love, my friend
Or become what you see
Yes, a loser like me
Someone who′d be

Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off
