| I could call your mother to tell her the truth | |
| She could give the message to you | |
| I could write a letter or give you a note, | |
| But I won't, | |
| I won't.Because you're better off | |
| To never know | |
| My alibiWhich is loving you so | |
| I never cheated or looked astray | |
| Don't know who spread that fire | |
| But I think that you know deep down inside | |
| You are my hearts desire | |
| Because you're better off | |
| To never know | |
| My alibiWhich is loving you so | |
| I hold you back when | |
| I hold your hand | |
| You're better off when you're your own man | |
| Baby, take your last look | |
| Don't say goodbye | |
| Love don't mean that much anyway | |
| Don't give me a hard time if | |
| I close my eyes | |
| I'm okayI'm okay | |
| I could write a letter or give you a note, | |
| But I won't, | |
| I won't. |
