Better off Dead — текст песни (Randy Newman)

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.
