Better Songtext
von OBK

You got your love, baby, hey, and I′ve got mine
And that's the way it should be
And I remember when my love was your love
And your love was mine until you grew tired of me

As your new love, your new love came on strong
You had the nerve to ask me to leave
And in fact the last words you spoke
As you gave me my coat
You said, "I think it′s better, it's better this way"

Baby, is it better, is it better for you?
Oh, is it better, is it better for you?
Hey, hey, if it's better, girl, you know I just can′t see
How in the world it′s better, better for me

So in the midst of a cold, cold life
I felt the warmth of a new love comin' on
Hey, I tried to refuse her ′cause I've been hurt so bad before
But her love just kept comin′ on and comin' on and comin′ on


You see this woman's love, it had a healin' touch
I was blind but now I see
She told me, she said, "Oh, you lost a love that time
But a new love you done found
It makes it oh so much better, better for me"

I know it′s better, oh, it′s better for me
Yeah, yeah, it's so much better, any old fool can see
Oh, it′s better, boy, I'm tellin′ you
It's so much better, it′s absolutely true

Time heals all wounds and brings about change
This I've learned, I've grown wise enough to see
That if you love someone and really show them that you do
It can be better, it can be better for you

Baby, is it better? Yes, it′s better for you
It can be better, you know that′s absolutely true
Oh, it can be better, pretty soon you'll see
It can be better for you and for me
Oh, it can be better, oh, I′m tellin' you
Don′t you know that it's better for you and for me
