Better Off Dead - 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

If this happens to you

You’d be better off dead

You might be surprised to learn how often it can happen

In a love affair

(And boy does it hurt)

You fall in love with someone for whom you really care

And they treat you just like dirt

They make you feel all fat and fumbly

Make you feel kind of dirty and flirty

Hey I’m talking to you

Didn’t 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

You better run for daylight

Just as fast as you can (Little man)

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
