LYRICS
[Verse 1]
You’re just another in a long line of men she screwed
Just another in a long line of men she knew
Oh yeah she did, yeah she did what she wanted to do
Like all the boys before
Another dream come true
[Verse 2]
It’s a power, it’s a power, it’s a power move
And while I’m not quite sure what she’s trying to prove
They all say she’s got low self-esteem
So, why is she looking like a cat who got the cream?
[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that
[Chorus 1]
I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you’re not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
She’s the apple of everybody’s eye
With an angel voice
Devil in disguise
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit
That the boys can taste ’til they’re out of use
[Verse 4]
And she'll network ’til her dreams come true
Even if it means getting into bed with you
Everybody’s friend, does it ring a bell?
I know a little too much but I'll never tell
[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that
[Chorus 2]
I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you've been feeling down
You're always out on the town, town
But you can do better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Well, I guess it’s just what humans do
Hook up with other people 'til it all falls through
And when it’s over, they go out and try and heal their pain
Hook up with another lover, do it all again
I’m not passing judgment on her sexual life
I’m passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife
In my back ever since we were starting out
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you
You can do better than
You can do better than that
[Chorus 1]
I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you’re not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

"...lookin like a cat that got the cream"
ahha throwback to _Are You Satisfied?_ :')
I freaked out when I first heard that!!
TheLilyGray lol same that's why I love this song
(=^･ω･^)y＝
I noticed that! I love it when artists do that.
Yes!
Doesn't matter who it's about. This song is so catchy and fun to listen to, plus I relate to the lyrics. One of my all-time favorites
Your name is amazing lol
Nicely said. Very relatable lyrics indeed.
Oh it matters alright if it is directed toward the same guy "I'm a ruin" is. Or even "Blue," or "Forget."
If it is about the guy "Froot" is directed toward, far les peaved. But still a petty track. But I've been just as petty if not worse like most everyone else. Putting it into song is the best way. turning into art, music is a great outlet.
Does matter who if it is referencing her guy friend she selfishly, her words, only wants one more time with. For herself-esteem. & is what she's doing here again.
If you use someone you friend zone, you probs shouldn’t be telling em who you deem acceptable as your replacement.
Look,
she knows he's been feeling sad, but! she has a right 2 be mad!
Girl sounds like a fox. One on Marina's level, who may be better at her game.
If girl she is referencing is selfish uses guy, she's only doing what she already did.
Also telling her guy friend how he's just one more guy in her huge lineup of guys is mean. Goes after his manhood,opposed 2 being happy for him after feeling less sad in awhile.
Idk. I ain’t a gal. Personally, I shut up when it comes to my peers and their girls unless he wants 2 talk about it.Same thing I receive. Sure some guys do, but I don’t "approve" any girls for my guys and I seek zero approval from my dudes. The girl is my business.
this is where it all begin. whoever "she" was in this song, "she" sounds like a whore and we still "not pass judgement on her sexual life" for the sake of the song.
the song should have been named as "fuck that bitch, dont pay attention to that attention whore and move on" then it would be a different era xd
This song needs a video
YES PLEASE
need
absolutely
then we need to make a fan video :)))
Alexia Brooks sometimes she releases music videos after she releases the song so keep your fingers crossed.
This is one of the best songs on Froot. The bridge is absolutely fire, and the lyrics are really smart and match the production almost flawlessly.
I thought Forget was my fave song off Froot but this is off the chain amazing
I LOVE THE BRIDGE I HUM IT EVERYDAY BRO I SWEAR ITS SO GOODDD IDEK WHY
"She’s the apple of everybody’s eye / With an angel voice / Devil in disguise / Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit / That the boys can taste ’til they’re out of use" Oooh honey, the tea was spilled, love the lyrics!
Dude, if that's you in your profile pic, you're cute AF!! OMG Hiiiiiii~

Amber Alert
@@ferrisbueller9991 amber heard or armin arlert hddsfgh
Okay, if people keep saying that she wrote this about Ellie Goulding, you're just hurting Marina's reputation when she's already said it's just a rumour and not true. How about show some respect to the artist and shut up, stop speculating on rumours and just enjoy the song that she's worked hard on.
What happened?
Everything. Everything happened.
i dont understand why everyone assumes its about someone in the music industry. she said its about someone who was in her social circle and i always assumed they were people id never heard of.
There is a difference between gossiping and analyzing a piece of music.
***** Which lyrics?
This song *NEEDS* to have an Epic Music Video. This is probably the best song on the album, and I think it could be THE standout pop single of 2015.
I agree, but it probably wont because Marina has a small budget with FROOT, as you can see with the other music videos.
Wahkeena Sitka It wouldn't really go down that well because people would start to think It was to 'inappropriate' and 'controversial'. Besides Indie pop never really stays around for long before another shitty remix comes along.
Not being mean but she isnt pop she is indie
+leopardluver22 indie is not a genre lmao is like a subcategory she is indie pop but still she's POP
Steven Matthews Since when is indie not a genre?
Did I miss some kind of memo...?
A lot of people are saying that Marina is talking about another celebrity but this sounds like a reference to her character Electra Heart to me! XD
Michael S. might be! :-) marina said herself that she's a ''wildcard'' XD
Michael S. i heard she refers to Ellie Goulding if i wrote her name well,who went with Marina's boyfriend.
Omg i tought that too XD
+Marina K. Those Rumours are untrue! Marina slammed them as soon as they started
*****
omg that is so rude she's not slutty. ugh you guys.
Word-from-word, these lyrics fit Electra Heart. I think this is Marina's way of saying she's abandoned her forever and she's never bringing her back. EH is a representation of somebody she used to be that she wasn't proud of, and she's done with all of that.
Still her best album and who disagrees is either a liar or has disgusting taste.
@@Krissefrom99 Or people just have different opinions.
I love this interpretation.
lol no, marina herself said that this song had spite for a real person in it. marina has always been tongue in cheek and feisty, she is totally someone that would throw shade to a real girl who backstabbed her IRL in a song. I dont know why fans cant admit that theres conflict and not everybody is friends with everybody in real life, like come on lol stop trying to sugar coat everything.
@@Krissefrom99 I agree. EH is my favorite album too.
The music is so groovy, I dig it. I really wish people would stop assuming who this song is about. It doesn't matter because Marina will never confirm or deny it anyway. ("I know a little too much, but I'll never tell")
Trueeee!
I love this line
"I know you've been feeling sad
I’ve got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that"
Because Marina acknowledges that as humans we are not always logical and maybe have radical thoughts". Emotions such as jealously and reactions to some situations are simply instinctive. She's acknowledging she has no right to respond in this way (something not many do) and showing we can't always practice what we preach. She's human and not perfect. We sometimes have these conflicting thoughts that go against what we believe in. If all humans are one thing, it is hypocritical. I am, you are and so is marina. I don't know much about love but sometimes you just feel a certain way. Marina is showing she is not on some moral high ground and like everyone else (as much as we don't like to admit it) she is prone to be judgemental too
Or maybe she's acting sarcastic like you've been sad so you cheated and so i don't have right to be mad its all her fault you were cough in a game she's just a hoe?
Slay
I love the way she says " I know a little too much but i'll never tell"
FROOT is amazing, musically and lyrically. It reminds me so much of The Family Jewels but as a new version of it. Marina does nothing wrong.
I hate how everyone jumps on female rivalry. Like, women have to go through enough shit, stop pitting them against each other.
hate hate HATE it
But it is about Marina against a girl. The song's directed towards a guy but you'd have to be deaf to not realize she doesn't like what this girl has done [to Marina and with the guy Marina is singing to]. I understand your point, but it doesn't apply to this song
Yeah I get that, it's just the immediate OMG IT'S ABOUT ELLIE GOULDING thing. Same with the Taylor Swift/Katy Perry scenario. I mean, that was more likely to have been their own PR doing that, but still.
+jonbehere yes exactly
Wait... What's the drama between the two?
Man, that instruments... that bass and guitar, Marina's voice... one of my favorite songs by her, along with the 2nd demo of Sex Yeah and Dumb.
do you mean numb or dumb TmT ?
@@Mitsayakii yeah, it was supposed to be Numb, don't know how that happened hahah
@@leilianemoura9738 lol TwT
''She's the apple of everybody's eye
With an angel voice
Devil in disguise
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit
That the boys can taste 'til they're out of use''
thils line reminds me of lana
Honestly, listening to this is 2024, all I can think about is Ariana. Like, girl, I know you’ve been sad, but you can do better than that….
@@szarahsshow5321 HELPP YOUR RIGHTT
A video for this, that's a split screen of Marina singing this song to Electra Heart would be amazing.
this is such a good idea omggg
cringe
mum, you're spoiling us.
It's 1 am im not ready to research up on marinas meanings of her songs
but imma do it.
how'd that go, three days later
ghostly ♔ i wanted to die
whats new
wild I just did the same thing and it’s 1 am RN LMFAOO 😭
not only does this song sound great, but it also can have so many meanings:
the first is what you may think if you dont listen to marina much, or just the first listen. that its about a woman who dislikes her crush's girlfriend, and believes she is toxic. not written in a misogynist way, but in a true love triangle situation which is cool!
but then, if you take marina's other discography into the meaning, you have many more layers. i personally believe marina wrote this song about "herself" or about the electra heart character she made that she felt was haunting her (whether this was her real life or just a part of the story) to keep it brief (although i certainly could go line by line here lol!)
the first set of lyrics are very electra heart, who broke many mens hearts and just used them for whatever she needed.
the next lines reference the phrase "the cat who got the cream", if youve listened to family jewels youll know in "are you satisifed?" marina uses the lyric: "one life pretending to be, the cat who got the cream". family jewels was DEFINITELY a personal album rather than concept as electra heart, so i believe this is a reference to the woman in the song is... herself.
a few lines down, "everybody's friend, does it ring a bell?" could be referencing to a lightbulb moment that, aha its not someone else shes talking about but herself.
the final verse, the situation is very electa heart/homewrecker, and then she says "im passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife in my back ever since we were starting out" is directly her saying, this persona of mine, thats been there since we started fame (or started adolescence) is causing me self sabotage.
at least thats what i think!
I already knew the song was going to be good, so I liked the video before the music could play.
Yass. Same
This song is like a good friend to me rn. Encouraging me to not stick with toxic friends.
oh my god this song is perfect
Okay this song is underrated
I have a hunch that this was written about electra heart.
You're just another in a long line of men she screwed (homewrecker)
Just another in a long line of men she knew (housewife/beauty queen)
And yeah she did, yeah she did what she wanted to do (primadonna / beauty queen)
Like all the boys before(homewrecker)
Another dream come true (beauty queen)
It's a power, it's a power, it's a power move (primadonna / homewrecker)
And while I'm not quite sure what she's trying to prove
They all say she's got low self-esteem (idle teen)
So, why is she looking like a cat who got the cream?
(These lines are written about her personal encounter with the devil)
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that
I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game (proves the story was a game with marinas emotions )
But you can do better than that
Better than that
Better than that
She's the apple of everybody's eye (beauty queen)
With an angel voice (housewife / beauty queen)
Devil in disguise (homewrecker )
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit (idle teen?)
That the boys can taste 'til they're out of use (homewrecker)
And she'll network 'til her dreams come true (beauty quuen)
Even if it means getting into bed with you (home wrecker)
Everybody's friend, does it ring a bell? (home wrecker)
I know a little too much but I'll never tell (housewife)
Well, I guess it's just what humans do (marina)
Hook up with other people until it all falls through (home wrecker)
And when it's over they go out and try and heal their pain (idle teen)
Hook up with another lover, do it all again (homewrecker)
I'm not passing judgment on her sexual life (home wrecker)
I'm passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife (electra af)
In my back ever since we were starting out (THIS IS WHY IN ELECTRA HEART WHEN SHE ASKS IF SHE CAN GO BACK TO THE START AND MARINA KILLS HER BECAUSE SHE NEVER HAD HER BACK)
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you (Electra)
But you can do better than
You can do better than that
this is genious😮😝😍
holy shit this in incredible ahh i love marina
This is meant for Ellie Goulding
its about Ellie Goulding. look it up
bizarre_blizzard 87 marina never confirmed that I know they have beef but I was just saying my opinion
The way she sings "Oooh" is just so amazing omgmg.
I just adore this album. It speaks break up, getting over it, moving on and not giving a fuck anymore. And the best part of is it speaks female empowerment and I just fucking love it. Slay Mama Marina.
the lyrics of songs in froot are so contrasting to the lyrics in electra heart i absolutely love it
And Family Jewels
I see why it's Marina's favorite
I feel like this album is an answer to family jewels...but she needed to go through the electra heart sound to get here. It kinda shows how she has matured. I love it. I like all her albums and her discography just keeps getting better.
I don't know what this song is about, but it feels like Marina is encouraging me to be a better person lol
3:30 Best part
All fan drama aside, this is a great track.
Just knowing that people in the future ( like maybe 2025-2030 ) will find this song and enjoy it makes me happy 😊. I just hope everyone at some point in their life finds Marina
I recently discovered her myself...and am enjoying that discovery greatly with every song of hers that I hear!!! She's a fabulous talent!!
@@universal-zy5bh I found her last year when my friend was listening to ‘how to be a heartbreaker’ from nightcore, so I went home and couldn’t stop listening to it. After that I started listening to more and more of her music, and I LOVED it. And I agree, her music is FABULOUS!
@@universal-zy5bh me too
marina's entire discography will go viral 10 or 20 years from now and she will be VERY popular among future generations. mark my words.
Froot is a modern masterpiece and Marina is a pop genius.
Yes and hell yes
Great song! Deliciously, hauntingly melodic.
THE BEST SONG OF FROOT FOR SURE!
Marina is expressing her feelings and thoughts so elegante and grown up! Respect!:)
Each marina song is another piece of art
THE BRIDGE O M G I LOVED IT
i wish i could have the spinning fruit as a desktop background
*froot
Am I the only one that interprets this song as something more personal, as if she's saying that we deserve better? That we can do better than wasting our time on seeking attention and satisfaction from flaky men and fake love
You know that satisfying feeling when you have a person to think about while you listen to this... amazing
Thank you youtube algorithm for reminding me to listen to this album yet again
My favorite song on the album 🤭
me: *listens to MATD in 2015 purely obsessed*
also me: *comes back in 2020 still feeling that blissful feeling all over again*
SUCH an underrated song!!!!
How have I not heard this before? this is probably my favourite Marina song
Marina, i love you
thanks for exist
and thanks fos this song, its my fav
She wrote this masterpiece *all by herself, no shit*
this has to my favourite song from the album
this song sounds like a musical...
and i love it
I love how many references she makes to all her other songs-
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you.

Better than that, ooh
Better than that
Better than that
Better than that, ooh
This reminds of my first love, that scared girl who took comfort in men and used them including me. I don't hate her for it and I don't judge or blame her, I just wish she would do better than that.
We never really dated and I was to young to understand my feels so when Maria sings "i know you've been feeling sad, i have no right to be mad." Or "I'm not passing judgment on her sexusl life im passing judgment on the way she always stuck her knife in my back." just fits way to perfectly with my perspective. One minute she be leading my tinny heart on and the next she'd turn to someone who didn't care. Yet here I am still thinking about her and if she's doing well.
(Yes I know this is supposedly a song about herself, but the beauty of music is its ability to connect with the emotions of the listeners)
Her best album
Imagine if Marina ever made an album with this sound. Oof, i'd play it from now until the end of time.
Marina is so perfect
This song is the successor to Homewrecker from Electra Heart.
"You're just another in a long line of other men she screwed"
"Just another in a long line of other men she knew"; That is my favorite verse.
Absolutely OBSESSED with this track! Certainly one of the many faves off FROOT. Love you Marina!!- xoxo
Omg this beautiful song...... I can't stop listening. Help!!
There should have been a music video for this!
marina has always been tongue in cheek and feisty, she is totally someone that would throw shade to a real girl who backstabbed her IRL in a song.

"she's the apple of everybodies eye~" >>>
Honestly do not care about who the lyrics may be referencing. The musical composition is excellent and definitely an earworm. I wonder if people would realize what a great song it is if it had different lyrics that didn't distract from the music.
I'm 6 years late lol, but I am the only one who thinks this songs refers to herself from the past albums? Like it really matches with The Family Jewels and Electra Heart but like she got over it
this is one of the most mature songs Marina ever made
Eu realmente amo essa música, me contagia, uma das minhas favoritas! ♥
Yet another freaking GORGEOUS song.... Wow.
FROOT is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm blown away.
I've only been a fan of Marina for a year.. I've never been a fan of anyone, and I've listened to her music every day since.. It's obvious what this song is about.. Marina, you're far, far, far better than that...
This is the best song on the best album ever!! Froot is the soundtrack to my soul.
It's about Electra, the homewrecker
This probably is one of my fave songs from Marina. She is just a genius!
It's 2019 and this song is still my jam
My heart's broken beyond despair.
I’m 5 years late, but this album was just too perfect. The lyrical narrative is *chefs kiss* 👩🍳 💋 ❤️. 11/10
btw this line here says it all who it is...but I won’t tell...
“They all say she's got low self-esteem
So, why is she looking like the cat who got the cream”
I’ve yet to see anyone say the correct name, but let’s not snitch anyhow 😘
The story of personal transformation.....thank you so much Marina
*We want a video for each track of the album viu rapariga? This album is a masterpiece.*
Favorite song off FROOT 😍
I always keep coming back to this album, it’s so addicting in a good way :)
0:16 She' s making a power move too, right here.
I love how the chorus of the song makes us believe it's meant for the guy in the alleged relationship, but in truth, the "you can do better than that" is for the GIRL he cheated with.
this is my favourite from froot
Soooooooooooo underrated, this should've got a video!!!!!!! One of my highlights off Froot. 😍
This is my favourite on the album. This would sound amazing live!
Love the vibes rock and all omg i loooooooooooove iiiiiiiiit
Well, this song was written around the same time as The Family Jewels was. We do know that there was a disagreement between Marina and Ellie at the time, when they were both newcomers to British pop, so there is a possibility that Better Than That was written to address this issue. But I believe that to have released it in Froot, she must have given new meaning to the music, no longer directed to the primordial intention, it's such a good song. Also, Marina said that this song is the only spiteful song on the album, so it's definitely for someone.
*Ah, the Succulent FROOTs of the TREE OF LIFE*
I love the beginning of the song so much omg
This is the Best Song of The Album,
No, Best Song By Marina,
No, Actually, Best Song Ever Made.
That's My Opinion! But You Can Do Better Than That!
Marina can't do better than this. I mean it's one of her best songs!
This is so empowering especially after a toxic relationship
This is one of my favorite song of the album!
