Better off dead lyrics

Artist  : Randy newman 
Song : Better off dead
 
Musically, this one has a sort of overblown,
heavenly quality to it. but lyrically, it’s
another story of a guy getting himself into a bad
relationship that he can’t get out of. he says,
"w
Ou fall in love with someone who doesn’t love
you/ someone who treats you so badly it ramifies
your head/ someone who doesn’t want you but won’t
let you go/ someone who thinks you’re crazy and t
You so, over and over and over/ if this happens
to you, you’re better off dead." it’s
exaggerated, but there’s a kernel of truth there
for so many people. you don’t know what bad is
until y
El that. I know what I’m talking about because I
was once a woman who loved too much.

I know some critic is going to think I don’t know
what the word ramify means, or how to use it. made
up an alternate verb form of it here, like a
made-up r&b word, like the "puppet
Quot; of love. wanted to say how there would be
ramifications from something that happens to your
head in this kind of a relationship. I should’ve
said "blamifies" or something to make
Eally obvious I was playing with the word, but I
just didn’t give a fuck.
