| 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’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! |
