Текст (слова) песни: Randy Newman - 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, "When you 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 tells 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 you feel 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 "puppetudes" 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 it really obvious I was playing with the word, but I just didn`t give a fuck.
