Better Off This Way

Nothing tickles my fancy
Nothing catches my eye these days
But I'm better off this way
It was nice while it lasted
It was fun for a day
But I'm better off this way
Well don't call me up
I'm quite happy by myself
and I'm sure that you're happy too with somebody else
You're back on the west side
I'm licking my scratches
You are out on the town I bet
I'm locking the screen door latch
It wasn't all it was cracked up to be
But I'm better off this way, you see
Well don't call me up
Oh, I'm quite happy here by myself
And I'm sure that you're happy too with somebody else
Now I'm on the roadside born under a bad sign
I was driving a death-trap
Even I can be blind
They say it is high time that we call it a day
But I'm better off this way
Yeah, I'm better off this way
But I'm better off this way
