Betsy wolfe - I Can Do Better Than That lyrics

My best friend had a little situation At the end of our senior year And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer Carolann getting bigger every minute Thinking, "What am I doing here?" While Mitchell's out every night Being a heavy-metal drummer They got a little cute house on a little cute street With a crucifix on the door Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore I thought about what I wanted It wasn't like that at all Made Carolann a cute baby sweater Thinking "I can do better than that" In a year or so, I moved to the city Thinking "What have I got to lose?" Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner Met a guy in a cla** I was taking who you might say Looked like Tom Cruise He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner And I guess he was cute And I guess he was sweet ANd I guess he was good in bed I gave up my life for a better part of a year And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might work And the second it entered my head He needed to take some time off Focus on his "career" He blew me off with a heartfelt letter I thought "I can do better than that" You don't have to get a haircute You don't have to change your shoes You don't have to like Duran Duran Just love me You don't have to put the seat down You don't have to watch the news You dont' have to learn to tango You don't have to eat prosciutto You don't have to change a thing Just stay with me I want you and you and nothing but you Miles and piles of you Finally I'll have something worthwhile To think about each morning You and you and nothing but you No substitution will do Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure Top of the line and totally mine! I don't need any lifetime commitments I don't need to get hitched tonight I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses I don't mean to put on any pressure But I know what a thing is right And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense When we get to my house, take a look at that town Take a look at how far I've gone I will never go back Never look back anymoure And it feels like my life led right to your side And will keep me there from now on Think about what you wanted Think about what could be THink about how I love you Say you'll move in with me Think of what's great about me and you Think of the bullsh*t we've both been through Think of what's past because we can do better! We can do better! We can do better than that! We can do better than that!
