Better Off On Your Own

REFRAIN:

So is this what they call love?

Giving everything, but never enough;

Letting him knock you down,

So that he can feel strong?

Getting yelled at all the time,

Wearing bruises from the fight;

Darling, maybe you were wrong.

If he's the only one who's ever happy-

No, you don't look happy-

If he's the only one who's ever happy,

Then maybe you're better off on your own.

I know you like tell me that you love him,

But honey, does he ever say that he loves you?

Maybe you tell yourself that you can change him,

But baby, there are some things you just can't do,

And if your mama's old worn eyes don't deceive her,

Seems like he's making too many changes to you.
