It's Better To Be By Yourself

Nat King Cole

Compositor: The King Cole Trio

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
