You Better You Bet Lyrics

The Who - You Better You Bet

You better you better you bet.

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes.

I sometimes thing I should just go home

but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes

I got your body right now on my mind

and I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex

To the sound of old T-Rex

Who's next?

When I say I love you you say you better

(You better you better you bet)

When I say I need you you say you better

(You better you better you bet)

You better bet your life

Or love will cut you like a knife

I want those feeble minded axes overthrown

I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose

You welcome me with open arms and open legs

I know only fools have needs but this one never begs

I don't really mind how much you love me

A little is really alright

When you say come over and spend the night

Tonight

When I say I love you you say you better

(You better you better you bet)

When I say I need you you say you better

(You better you better you bet)

You better bet your life

Or love will cut you like a knife

I lay on the bed with you

We could make some book of records

Your dog keeps licking my nose

And chewing up all those letters

Saying "you better"

You better bet your life

You better love me, all the time now

You better shove me back into line now

You better love me, all the time now

You better shove me back into line now.

I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa

But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier

I know that I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy sometime

But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line every time.

And when it comes to all night living

I know what I'm giving

I've got it all down to a tee

And it's free.

When I say I love you you say you better

(You better you better you bet)

When I say I need you you say you better

(You better you better you bet)
