Lyrics
0:01Better Off Dead - Bill Withers
0:09She couldn't stand me anymore
0:12So she just took the kids and went
0:20You see I've got a drinkin' problem
0:23All the money that we had I spent
0:30Now I must die by my own hand
0:33‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone
0:39Hey hey she's better off without me
0:44And I'm better off dead now that she's gone
0:52Ah she gave the most
0:54Took the least
0:55She even had the priest come to our home
1:02And I cried and prayed and promised
1:06That I'd leave the stuff alone
1:13Now I must leave what I can't face
1:16I hope she finds the kids a happy home
1:22Hey hey she's better off without me
1:26And I'm better off dead now that she's gone
1:34She used to call her friend and cry
1:38Then the man cut off the telephone
1:45She'd sit and cry while I went out
1:49And pawned the things we owned
1:55Now I must die by my own hand
1:58‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone
2:04Hey hey she's better off without me
2:08And I'm better off dead
Better Off Dead - Bill Withers She couldn't stand me anymore So she just took the kids and went You see I've got a drinkin' problem All the money that we had I spent Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone Hey hey she's better off without me And I'm better off dead now that she's gone Ah she gave the most Took the least She even had the priest come to our home And I cried and prayed and promised That I'd leave the stuff alone Now I must leave what I can't face I hope she finds the kids a happy home Hey hey she's better off without me And I'm better off dead now that she's gone She used to call her friend and cry Then the man cut off the telephone She'd sit and cry while I went out And pawned the things we owned Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone Hey hey she's better off without me And I'm better off dead
