Wrote a song so long ago

About a woman I never know

Long hair and deep blue eyes (Yeah, yeah)

I asked her name and she walked on by

But I'm still wondering, stumbling around

No one never hears me screaming out

Might as well just walk around the town, yeah

And now my shadow walks right by my side

Only friend that I'ma see tonight

Wonder if I'll let her see a sign, yeah

But she's gotta hold on to me

And she took the soul out of me

I don't wanna, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna leave

I don't wanna be better on my own

I don't wanna go, I can never leave

But I really think you're better off alone

Better off alone

(I don't wanna go)

And now my drinking days are over

I promised I'd be sober

And I hope that I see you this time around

That's why my shadow walks right by my side

Only friend that I'ma see tonight

Wonder if I'll let her see a sign, yeah

But she's gotta hold on to me

And she took the soul out of me

I don't wanna, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna leave

I don't wanna be better on my own

I don't wanna go, I can never leave

But I really think you're better off alone

Better off alone

Better off alone

(Ooh-oh)

Better off alone

(Ooh-oh)
