Better Than This Lyrics

Love is a mystery, people insist But I strongly believe, oh I believe, oh

I believe I can do better than this

For six months, you did not work And used the time to get into our neighbor's skirt

I forgave, but I did not forget

The day I came home early, after a hard day's work

Free to catch you with a dial a nurse Hussy in fishnets, a waist-low skirt

I did not get fussy, I forgave

But I did not forget

Love is a mystery, people insist But I strongly believe, oh I believe, oh

I believe I can do better than this

The day you did say that you bought a red sports car

For me as a surprise gift

Only for me to make the car payment

An insurance payment every month

Although I was a thrift

I forgave, but I did not forget

The day you took my red sports car

To drive your girlfriend at work

To our home, bragging it was your house alone

I saw you but I did not moan

I forgave, but I did not forget

Love is a mystery, people insist But I strongly believe, oh I believe, oh

I believe I can do better than this

The day came you wanted to go

You thought I'd beg you to stay, but I said no

You had used me often for a free meal

And I was very happy to break the deal

I bid you farewell bye and good riddance

I needed you like a candy maker needs ants in their peppermint pants

Although a brief history we shared

A future with you I was thankfully spared

You made me happiest when I let you go

And to any future with you I say

Oh no, no, no, I let you go, so go

Love is a mystery, people insist But I strongly believe, oh I believe, oh

I believe I can do better than this
