lyrics

Better Off

Now Let me tell you a story
I’m gonna tell you something true

It’s been 49 days
And I ain’t never thought about you

Don’t ya come around here
Trying to get me to miss you

I put that song to rest
Cuz baby we’re through

C:
See I’m doing just fine without you in my life
And I’m Better off without you


You did me wrong
You know you did

And nothing you can say or do
Is gonna make me forget it

So get acquainted with the back of this door
Cuz you ain’t never coming through

You had it wrong thinking when you left
That I’d be blue, all right

C:
See I’m doing just fine without you in my life
And I’m Better off without you

You held me down yes
Trying to lord all my time

Let me tell ya something baby
You can’t shade my light

Since you’ve been gone I never shined so bright
Now You can see my glitter like a star in the night

See I’m doing just fine without you in my life
I’m doing just fine without you in my life
See I’m doing just fine without you in my life
And I’m Better off without you

her more than one comparison to greats like Irma Thomas and Mavis
Staples, and the title of her new album, High Priestess, helps conjure images of a vocalist trained in a Mississippi Delta choir loft, spending
Sundays praising the Lord and raising the roof. ... more
