PERFECT Post-Break Up Song!!!

I was uploading old CDs onto my Ipod just now and came across one of my FAV songs from college, The Clarks' "Better Off Without You"

I put the lyrics below, and it's DEFINITELY worth the 99cents to put on your Ipod. Suggestions for how to dance around your room when you listen to it (and you'll want to) include jumping up and down and raising a great big middle finger every time they say #1

Enjoy!!

Better Off Without You

You are sultry, dirty, soft and hard
You are close to me and you’re so far
And I’m thinking of the time we spent together
Now I’ll bury this in my backyard
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I’ll never dial your number ‘cause

I’m having fun looking out for #1
And I’m doing all the things I like to do
I’m having fun ‘cause I knew it all along
I’d be better off without you

You are guilty, pretty, high and low
You’re a place to stay and a time to go
And I’m searching through the things you left behind here
But it’s time for me to let it go
Sometimes I sit and wonder
But I’ll never dial that number ‘cause

I’m having fun looking out for #1
And I’m doing all the things I like to do
I’m having fun ‘cause I knew it all along
I’d be better off without you

Late at night you pick up the telephone
Call me up and cry ‘cause you’re all alone - I DON'T CARE!!
Apologize for taking my cigarettes
But it’s time to feel all the side effects
Missing the life you had

I’m having fun looking out for #1
And I’m doing all the things I like to do
I’m having fun ‘cause I knew it all along
I’d be better off without you

Fantstic! I'm going to get this to play when I'm feeling weak concerning the no contact rule.
