Better Than That

Johnny's feeling down. He's the class clown.

Teacher caught his act, it upset her

So she sent him home, and made him take along,

an explanation in a letter

Better. Better. Better. Better.

Before you send him back, make him straighten up his act.

He's got to do better than that.

The preacher in our town, passed some guilt around.

Repent or you will never get there.

On the judgment day, the sheep that went astray,

will swear their hearts have never left here

Better. Better. Better. Better.

You better change your ways. Spit in the devils face.

You've got to do better than that

You've got to sink or swim, when swimming in the gin.

Sometimes nothing can make it better.

Police made a catch. They caught him driving smashed.

His breath blew up the drunk detector

Better. Better. Better. Better.

They threw away the key, 'til they could make him see

he's got to do better than that

Well a lover from France that I met at a dance

she liked my shoes, I liked her sweater

It only goes to show, you never really know.

Me and her are still together

Better. Better. Better. Better.

You never really know when you're gonna meet a friend

I can't say it better than that !
