Life Gets Better - Graham Parker

I used to think

That it all stopped happening

By the time you reached twenty one

They said there's nothing

Like the first love you get boy

They were wrong oh so wrong

They hung on and hung on

To their dream I know

Life gets better yeah

Whenever I'm in her arms

Just to know I'm not the average fella

I'm the one I'm the one for her

Well it's a shame

What they do to these young kids

Just encourage them to act like clowns

And then they think

That they don't have much longer

Knocked up the first time

She let em get down

Put four walls around

And then scream but I know

Life gets better yeah

When ever I'm in her arms

Just to know

I'm not the average fella

I'm the one I'm the one for her

Life stretches

Before me an endless mystery

And nothing can bore me

When she's with me

I feel the heartbeat of the world

In the hands of this girl

But it takes so much time to

To finally see see see

I get a thrill when I think how it really is

No one can ever take that away

They try to put rubber

Bands around your heart

But they're wrong oh so wrong they hung on

And hung on to where dream but I know

Life gets better yeah

When ever I'm in her arms

Just to know I'm not the average fella

I'm the one I'm the one for her

Oooh Life gets better yeah

When ever I'm in her arms

Just to know

I'm not the average sucker

I'm the one I'm the one for her

Oooh Life gets better yeah

Oooh Life gets better yeah

Oooh Life gets better yeah
