Better Off a Fool
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do I stay or do I go
I know I have to choose
Wish you could give me everything
But that's something you can't do
I'll take what I can get
Someday I know I'll regret
Taking what I do
I'm better off a fool
If I don't have to lose you
Maybe I should turn away before it's too late
Sounds crazy
But I know the truth
I'm better off a fool
I hear the talk behind my back
They don't mean to be cruel
But they can't see it's killing me
Just being here with you
You maybe committing a crime
But I'm here doing the time
Doesn't matter much to you
I'm better off a fool
If I don't have to lose you
Maybe I should turn away before it's too late
Sounds crazy
But I know the truth
I'm better off a fool
Maybe I should turn away before it's too late
Sounds crazy
I'm better off a fool
I'm better off a fool
Turn away before it's too late
Sounds crazy
But I know the truth
I'm better off a fool
Sounds crazy but I know the truth
