Randy Newman - Better Off Dead Lyrics
Musically, this one has a sort of overblown, heavenly quality to it. but lyrically, its another story of a guy getting himself into a bad relationship that he cant get out of. he says, wOu fall in love with someone who doesnt love you/ someone who treats you so badly it ramifies your head/ someone who doesnt want you but wont let you go/ someone who thinks youre crazy and tYou so, over and over and over/ if this happens to you, youre better off dead. its exaggerated, but theres a kernel of truth there for so many people. you dont know what bad is until yEl that. I know what Im talking about because I was once a woman who loved too much.I know some critic is going to think I dont 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 puppetQuot; of love. wanted to say how there would be ramifications from something that happens to your head in this kind of a relationship. I shouldve said blamifies or something to makeEally obvious I was playing with the word, but I just didnt give a *****.
