Better

You can count on a number of things

Like tomorrow the sun's gonna shine

There'll be flowers in spring time

Poets will make rhymes

Couples in moonlight are so ripe to fall

Fallin' in love, such a natural thing

There's a look in that one person's eyes

And the moment we know it

We don't want to blow it

So we get way too careful and it all slips away

You've always told me

You can do better

And something would always come along

And so I listened, down to the letter

'Til somebody better came along

You, you can do better

Talkin' to you, you, you, you

You gotta do better!

Now I feel like I'm swimming upstream

When the current is running so strong

I'm a fish out of water

The first time I saw you

Couldn't keep it together

Don't care if I'm wrong

But it seems like forever

Since we got along

You've always told me

You can do better

And something would always come along

And so I listened, down to the letter

'Til somebody better came along

You said it so often

You thought I'd believe it

That I was always doin' it wrong

But you always said that

You could take it or leave it

So, somebody better came along!

You, you can do better, better

Talkin' to you, you, you

You gotta do better!
