Story Behind the Song
I Do not & Cannot understand How & Why she done Me the way she did Me. So this song is a release of my frustration and to tell her that Mayo is much Better Off now. :) :)
Lyrically Better Off was written in an empty apartment. I had just gotten my own place and had nothing but cleaning supplies, cd player & a guitar a friend had let me borrow to learn some chords. With my pen and note pad, I let that baggage go for good................. Thus this song was created.
Lyrics
BETTER OFF
I dont understand how she did me that time when it came out
I was optimistic & infatuated & also firm with doubt
I cant understand, she speaks words, but actions got to be louder
She was with me, but not really she was living in her simple word
Somebody got to feel me, I had somebody but still felt lonely
When I wake up in the morning, puzzled, hopeful, Im dreaming only
I dont understand how she did like she did me, that time you know
When I look in her eyes she lied I said I got to go,,, I’m OUT
But little did she know I was coming back , coming back stronger
When I fell to my knee, let leave he told me to run a little longer
I will never understand how she did, but now Im better off
I got things going for me, new friends that love me, if everybody feel me hit it up
How she do me, like she did me, when she done that time
I had to stumble to see that it was time for purging my mind
How she do me, like she did me, when she done me, but cha know Im better off, cause its al good honey, I dont understand, I must not be that clever all that I know that I am coming out better ©2002 James E. Mayo
