[Verse]
At a Dquarter to midnight she was pacing the floor,
AAsking herself, 'What am I loving him for?
He's been Dout on the town Gsix nights in a row,
If this is Dhow its gonna be, I'd be Abetter off aDlone'.
As she walked to her car the night was cold and still,
She Athought to herself, 'I'll drive up to Lover's Hill
And I'll tell Deach and every star how this Gman has done me wrong,
And I'm Dsure they'll agree I'd be Abetter off aDlone'.
GMmmmmm, Abetter off aDlone.
He was Dclosing the store as the clock was striking twelve,
He'd been Aworking extra hours, he was proud of himself.
To surDprise her with a ring, he'd worked his Gfingers to the bone,
He Djoked to his boss, 'I'd be Abetter off aDlone'.
Now the road to his house went right by Lover's Hill,
When he Asaw her car parked there, well his heart, it just stood still.
'DWhat could she be doing? GGod, I hope I'm wrong,
If she's Dthere with someone else, I'd be Abetter off aDlone'.
GMmmmmm, Abetter off aDlone.
GMmmmmm, Abetter off aBmlone.A  
He Eparked his car beside her, got out and cut the lights,
BShe rolled down her window and looked up in surprise.
When he Esaw that she'd been crying, he said 'ABabe, what's going on'?
And Ethrough her tears she whispered, 'I'd be Bbetter off aElone'.
Then he kissed her through the window, and wiped away her tears,
BTold her 'bout his secret, and she told him 'bout her fears.
He said, 'We'll Eget your car tomorrow, come Aon, I'll drive you home.
The Eway that I'm feeling, we'd be Bbetter off aElone'.
AMmmmmm, Bbetter off aElone.
AMmmmmm, Bbetter off aElone.
AMmmmmm, Bbetter off aElone.
AMmmmmm, Bbetter off aElone.

If she's there with someone else, I'd be better off alone'.
