about

It's better to be alone than to have false friends.

lyrics

If you have a little money, you can buy yourself some friends.
But when the tab is paid up, that's where the friendship ends.
Shake your hand, put their hand out, and ask you for a loan.
Sometimes it is better for a man to be alone.

Success will bring you fortune, success will bring you fame.
Everybody wants to meet you, everybody knows your name.
But if you need someone to talk to, they won't pick up the phone.
Sometimes it is better for a man to be alone.

Close the door, pull the shade down, be alone with your tears.
Alone with the silence that presses on your ears.
Alone with your weakness, and the thoughts you can't control.
The black mark on your heart and the bloodstain on your soul.

Some women say they love you, they promise they will stay.
But they only stand beside you as long as you can pay.
God may have made the woman from a lonely man's rib bone,
But sometimes it is better for a man to be alone.

In the coldness of the winter, in the darkness of the night,
I would try to find some comfort in the shining city lights,
But false friends and faithless women, have driven me back home.
Sometimes it is better for a man to be alone.
Sometimes it's just better for a man to be alone.
