I Can Do Better Than That

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 class 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!
