It is better to be by yourself It is better to be by yourself Love is made by two, it don't include a third. 'cause you'll lose your chick and then you'll get the bird So it's better to be by yourself Never trust a gal Who puts on weet dialouge Never trust a pal 'cause remember that man's best friend is his dog So it's better to be by youself It is better to be on the shelf Be just like a hermit living in a cage You don't get much lovin' but the dough you save Makes it better to be by yourself There's a story that's told about a man's mate When his change run out she said "i'll see you gate'" Now he works all day and come(s) home at night, Instead of little bitty pettin' all she wants to do is fight, So it's better to be by yourself, boy It's better to be by yourself, oh man It's better to be by yourself, boy
