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 alibi
Which 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 alibi
Which is loving you so.

I hold you back, I hold your hand.
You're better off when your'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 okay.
I'm okay.

I could write a letter or give you a note,
But I won't,
I won't.
