Graeme Connors Better Off Alone Lyrics

At a quarter to midnight
She was facing the floor
Asking herself
What am I loving him for?
He's been out on the town
Six nights in a row
If this is how it's gonna be
I'd be better off alone
As she walked to her car
The night was cold and still
She thought to herself
I'll drive up to Lover's Hill
And I'll tell each and every star
How this man has done me wrong
And I'm sure they'll agree
I'd be better off alone
Better off alone
He was closing the store
As the clock was striking 12
He'd been working extra hours
He was proud of himself
To surprise her with a ring
He'd worked his fingers to the bone
He joked to his boss
I'd be better off alone
Now the road to his house
Went right by Lover's Hill
When he saw her car parked there Well, his heart it just stood still
What could she be doing?
God I hope I'm wrong
If she's there with someone else
I'd be better off alone
Better off alone
Better off alone
He parked his car beside her
Got out and cut the lights
She rolled down her window
And looked up in surprise
When he saw that she'd been crying
He said
Babe, what's going on?
And through a tear she whispered
I'd be better off alone
Then he kissed her through the window
And wiped away her tears
Told her about his secret
And she told him about her fears
He said
We'll get your car tomorrow
Come on, I'll drive you home
The way that I am feeling
We'd be better off alone
Better off alone
Better off alone
Better off alone
Better off alone
