Better Off Dead- Original Song by Emily Hall
Better Off Dead Music and Lyrics by Emily Hall
My boy he loves me like a boy should love a girl
my boy he needs me I’m his only in the world
but recently he’s been acting kinda strange
heading out of town every other day
My boy he needs me says I’ve got the perfect smile
he’s questioning why he ain’t seen it in a while
there’s something going on and I’d like to know
What it is that my boy’s been up to
There’s a rumour going round and it ain’t a good one
seems my boy’s been missing me but he ain’t missing having fun
there’s a rumour going ‘round and it makes me see red
you think you’re gonna mess with me well boy you’ll be better off dead
you’ll be better off dead oh yeah
you think you’re gonna mess with me well boy you’ll be better off dead
He wears his suit clean cut his hair short back and sides
he’s got a poker face a guilty mans disguise
he thinks he’s got me fooled but he doesn’t see
that the fool in this game won’t be me
I dial his number but he won’t pick up the phone
he’s got me thinking that he might not be alone
there’s lipstick on his collar whiskey on his tongue
and I have got that killer instinct I am never wrong
There’s a rumour going round and it ain’t a good one
seems my boy’s been missing me but he ain’t missing having fun
there’s a rumour going ‘round and it makes me see red
you think you’re gonna mess with me well boy you’ll be better off dead
you’ll be better off dead oh yeah
you think you’re gonna mess with me well boy you’ll be better off dead
So this is hoe the story ends
I’ll give you a surprise ‘cause daling you gave me one
but I just ain’t the kind to sit at home with a gun
maybe when you check your bank account you’ll see what you’ve done
‘cause me the money and your pride are out on the run
they say that hell hath no fury so you’re right to worry
‘cause hell hath no fury oooo you know that you’d be better off dead
they say that hell hath no fury so you’re right to worry
‘cause hell hath no fury oooo you know that you’d be better off better off
There’s a rumour going round and it ain’t a good one
seems my boy’s been missing me but he ain’t missing having fun
there’s a rumour going ‘round and it makes me see red
you think you’re gonna mess with me well you’re a fool to mess with me
you think you’re gonna mess with me well boy you’ll be better off dead
