Female Remember that night when I met you When you both hung out here in the bar I said to my friend there “I bet you, Those two, they won’t make it too far.” He could have discussed any topic He could have chosen baseball, football, croquet So why’d he have to choose her? What a lame, pathetic loser You don’t need him anyway Alone You are better off Trust me, it’s true You don’t need him there To always care About every little thing that you do Alone Means that your life plans Aren’t always set in stone Trust me You’re better off alone Right? Marcie Yeah… sure… Male Hey-ey! You ready to go? Female Oh! This is my friend, uh… Marcie Marcie. Female Marcie. She’s re-discovering single-hood. Male Welcome back. (Laughs) Maybe one night you were thinking I’ll stay-in and give nietzsche a stab Then again I could just go out drinking ‘Til I puke in the back of a cab Marcie He would say, “marcie that’s stupid, You are better than that…” Male But, hey Now his opinion doesn’t matter Go ahead and do the ladder You don’t need him anyway Female and male Alone You do what you want Never what he wants instead Marcie Not up each night In a stupid fight When the two of us should both be in bed Female and male Alone Means you never swoon At the smell of his cologne Marcie ‘Cause that’s just stupid Female and male You’re better off alone Female Right? Marcie Yeah, stupid old spice! Female All right. We’re gonna get going, good luck. Marcie Oh… thanks for the advice! Female Yeah. Male Hey, what? We work in a bar. We’re basically therapists who encourage you to drink. Good night! Marcie One day I might land a meeting With a man who takes photos in france I don’t need someone begging and pleading “Honey stay and give our love a chance.” I’ll go wherever I want to I won’t stay where I don’t wanna stay I’ll leave tomorrow or whenever And I might just stay forever I don’t need him anyway Alone Means I’ll never be So I can find romance I can act on a whim Not have check with him Like six or seven months in advance Alone Means you’re never hurt That is what this night has shone I think it’s clear to see I’m better off alone I need him anyway More than any man I’ve ever known Feeling hurt with him is better Than feeling free alone
