[00:13.14]My best friend had a little situation
[00:15.95]At the end of our senior year
[00:20.00]And like a shot
[00:20.85]She and Mitchell got married that summer
[00:26.46]Carolann getting bigger ev'ry minute
[00:29.06]Thinking, "What am I doing here?"
[00:32.56]While Mitchell's out ev'ry night
[00:34.61]Being a heavy-metal drummer
[00:38.71]They got a little cute house
[00:40.47]On a little cute street
[00:42.12]With a crucifix on the door
[00:45.77]Mitchell got a job at a record store in the mall
[00:51.88]Just the typical facts of a typical life
[00:55.04]In a town on the Eastern Shore
[00:58.73]I thought about what I wanted
[01:02.03]It wasn't like that at all
[01:05.45]Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
[01:08.30]Thinking, "I can do better than that"
[01:12.51]
[01:23.86]In a year or so I moved to the city
[01:26.57]Thinking, "What have I got to lose?"
[01:30.52]Got a room, got a cat
[01:32.32]And got twenty pounds thinner
[01:37.27]Met a guy in a class I was taking
[01:39.87]Who you might say looked like Tom Cruise
[01:43.81]He wouldn't leave me alone
[01:45.31]'Less I went with him to dinner
[01:49.69]And I guess he was cute
[01:51.45]And I guess he was sweet
[01:53.20]And I guess he was good in bed
[01:56.64]I gave up my life for the better part of a year
[02:02.94]And so I'm starting to feel like this maybe might work
[02:06.21]And the second it entered my head
[02:09.97]He needed to take some time off
[02:13.32]Focus on his "career"
[02:16.62]He blew me off with a heartfelt letter
[02:19.63]I thought, "I can do better than that"
[02:24.45]You don't have to get a haircut
[02:27.77]You don't have to change your shoes
[02:31.27]You don't have to like Duran Duran
[02:34.32]Just love me
[02:37.92]You don't have to put the seat down
[02:41.07]You don't have to watch the news
[02:44.27]You don't have to learn to tango
[02:47.67]You don't have to eat prosciutto
[02:50.94]You don't have to change a thing
[02:53.19]Just stay with me
[02:59.99]I want you and you
[03:02.09]And nothing but you
[03:03.91]Miles and piles of you
[03:06.30]Finally I'll have something worthwhile
[03:10.03]To think of each morning
[03:13.63]You and you
[03:14.99]And nothing but you
[03:16.69]No substitution will do
[03:18.94]Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
[03:22.97]Top of the line
[03:28.42]And totally mine
[03:36.22]I don't need any lifetime commitments
[03:39.09]I don't need to get hitched tonight
[03:42.69]I don't want you to throw up all your walls and defenses
[03:49.24]I don't mean to put on any pressure
[03:51.79]But I know when a thing is right
[03:55.75]And I spend every day re-configuring my senses
[04:01.57]When we get to my house
[04:03.11]Take a look at that town
[04:04.77]Take a look at how far I've gone
[04:08.11]I will never go back
[04:09.78]Never look back anymore
[04:14.42]And it feels like my life led right to your side
[04:17.62]And will keep me there from now on
[04:21.68]Think about what you wanted
[04:24.68]Think about what could be
[04:27.98]Think about how I love you
[04:31.34]Say you'll move in with me
[04:34.49]Think of what's great about me and you
[04:37.65]Think of the ******** we've both been through
[04:41.00]Think of what's past
[04:42.64]Because we can do Better
[04:49.15]We can do better
[04:55.16]We can do better than that
[05:04.77]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 ev'ry minute
Thinking, "What am I doing here?"
While Mitchell's out ev'ry 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 a 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

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 the better part of a year
And so I'm starting to feel like this maybe might work
And the second it entered my head
