You Better You Bet

You better, you better, you bet

You better, you better, you bet

You better, you better, you bet

I call you on the telephone

My voice too rough with cigarettes.

I sometimes feel I should just go home

But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

I love to hear you say my name

Especially when you say yes

I got your body right now on my mind

But I drunk myself blind

To the sound of old T-Rex

To the sound of old T-Rex

Oh, and who's next?

When I say "I love you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I need you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

You better bet your life

Or love will cut you

Cut like a knife

I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown

I'm not into your passport picture, I just like your nose

You welcome me with open arms and open legs

I know only fools have needs, but this one never begs

I don't really mind how much you love me

Ooh, a little is alright

When you say come over and spend the night

Tonight, tonight

When I say "I love you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I need you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

You better bet your life

Or love will cut you

Cut you like a knife

I lay on the bed with you

We could make some book of records

Your dog keeps licking my nose

And chewing up all those letters

Saying "you better"

You better bet your life

You better love me, all the time now

You better shove me back into line now

You better love me, all the time now

You better shove me back into line now.

I showed up late one night

With a neon light for a visa

But knowing I'm so eager to fight

Can't make letting me in any easier

I know that I been wearing crazy clothes

And I look pretty crappy sometimes

But my body feels so good

And I still sing a razor line everytime

And when it comes to all night living

I know what I'm giving

I've got it all down to a tee

And it's free.

When I say "I love you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I need you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I love you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I need you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I love you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I need you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I love you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

When I say "I need you", you say "you better"

(You better, you better, you bet)

You better bet your life

Or love will cut you

Just like a knife
