Riff: The Weeknd – “A Lonely Night”

Nov 29, 2016

Better when we’re both apart, better when we’re both apart/We’re no good for each other, no good for each other/Better when we’re both apart, better when we’re both apart/We’re no good for each other

from A Lonely Night lyrics by The Weeknd

If he borrows any more from Michael Jackson he’ll be in Neverland Ranch with Bubbles talking about how much he loves the children. There’s a “Billie Jean” element, but the theme moves in a totally different direction. He’s apologizing for his behavior when he should be apologizing for his lackluster effort. It’s an objectionable song and proof that he is a bigger doofus than previously thought.
