Better Off Dead

Better Off Dead - José James

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

And now I must die by my own hand

'Cause I'm not man enough to live alone

She's better off without me

And I'm better off dead now that she's gone

She gave the most and took the least

She even had the priest come to our home

And I cried and prayed and promised God

That I'd leave the stuff alone

And now I must die by my own hand

'Cause I'm not man enough to live alone

And she's better off without me

And I'm better off dead now that she's gone

Yes

Now that she's gone

Now that she's gone

She used to call her friend and cry

Then the man cut off the telephone

And she'd sit and cry while I went out

And pawned the things we owned yeah

Now I must die by my own hand

'Cause I'm not man enough to live alone

And she's better off without me

And I'm better off dead

Now that she's gone

Gone gone gone gone gone

I'm better off dead

I'm better off dead

Is that I'm better off dead

I'm better off dead

'Cause in the better off dead yeah

I'm better off dead

'Cause in the better off dead yeah

And now that she's gone

I said a better off dead

I'm better off dead

I say the better off dead yeah

Only disturb alone

Be disturb alone

I'm better off dead

And we know I'm better off dead

Now that she's gone

Now that she's gone

Better off dead

Now that she's gone

Better off dead

Now that she's gone

Said I'm better off dead

Now that she's gone

I'm better off dead yeah

Now that she's gone go go go

Better off dead

Now that she's gone

I'm said better off dead
