Lyrics
Better By Far
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Better by some, better by far
Better to have tried than never
Back of a bus, seat of a car
Than never to have tried at all
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm a fool about you
Can tell there's no way I'm gonna stay
With then what else was so long
Oh, what I wanna do is just lay down with you tonight
Set 'em up boy, wanna make love tonight
Easily come, easily go
Easy to believe in nothing
Set 'em up fast, take 'em down slow
Give it down and have aa ball
You can buy gin, you can by hymn
And you can buy the world around you
But you can get roughed, and you can get fluffed
If you'd have no love at all
Oh, what I wanna do is just a lay down with you tonight
Set 'em up boy, wanna make love tonight
Oh, I got a love and I just want to let it grow
Oh, a gift from above, tellin' me, tellin' me to let it show
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm a fool about you
Maybe I'll fight, maybe I've flung it
all around for too long
Bet you I will be lovin' you still
Well it's often bad around you
You and I must take it on trust
We're gonna carry on...
So, what I wanna do is just a lay down with you tonight
Set 'em up boy, wanna make love tonight
