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! We 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!
We can do better than that!
awesome!
