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

REPEAT CHORUS

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 their 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
