You Better You Bet

Or love will cut you like a knife
You better, you better, you bet
When I say, "I need you" you say, "You better"
I got your body right now on my mind
But knowing I'm so eager to fight
I want those feeble minded axes overthrown

You better, you better, you bet
Or love will cut you, cut you like a knife

When I say, "I love you" you say, "You better"
When I say, "I love you" you say, "You better"

You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better, you better, you bet

But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets
I call you on the telephone
I've got it all down to a tee

Especially when you say yes
When I say, "I need you" you say, "You better"
And when I say, "I need you" you scream, "You better"
You better, you better, you bet
I lay on the bed with you

When you say come over and spend the night
You better shove me back into line now

You better bet your life
I showed up late one night

Your dog keeps licking my nose
My voice too rough with cigarettes
And it's free
I don't really mind how much you love me
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose
I know what I'm giving
When I say, "I need you" you say, "You better"
Ooh, a little is alright
You better, you better, you bet

You better, you better, you bet
Can't make letting me in any easier

You better bet your life
I know I been wearing crazy clothes

When I say, "I need you" you say, "You better"
I love to hear you say my name
And when it comes to all night living

I sometimes feel I should just go home
But my body feels so good

You welcome me with open arms and open legs
And I still sing a razor line every time
To the sound of old T-Rex and Who's next
When I say, "I love you" you say, "You better"
You better, you better, you bet
You better bet your life
We could make some book of records
With a neon light for a visa
But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex
You better, you better, you bet
You better love me, all the time now
When I say, "I need you" you scream, "You better"
You better, you better, you bet
You better, you better, you bet
You better, you better, you bet
You better bet your life
When I say, "I love you" you say, "You better"
Tonight, tonight

And I look pretty crappy sometime
When I say, "I love you" you say, "You better"
You better, you better, you bet
You better, you better, you bet
When I say, "I love you" you say, "You better"
And chewing up all those letters saying, "You better"
