Lyrics
SOMETHING BETTER
I ask you if you're busy,
Specific day, specific time,
Ambiguous, you say maybe,
You don't say why.
Don't know what's goin' through that mind of yours,
All those faces swimmin' inside,
Searching for your answer,
And your reasons why.
And at the last minute,
Sometimes with no word,
You cancel on me,
And you don't say why.
Yeah you're just keeping me around,
Yeah you're just keeping me around,
You've got me waiting for so long,
'Till something better comes along.
Was it for the dinners,
Expensive restaurants?
A life that you'd never seen,
Sugar daddy can't go wrong?
And it's always an early morning,
After the check's been paid,
Doesn't seem that late to me,
Another man getting laid?
Yeah you're just keeping me around,
Yeah you're just keeping me around,
You've got me waiting for so long,
'Till something better comes along.
I can see through you now,
All the little games you like to play,
Using me for my money,
With no side to your trade.
And now it's my turn,
To tell you get the hell outta here,
No more free ride honey,
Your closing time is near,
Your closing time is here.
Yeah you're just keeping me around,
Yeah you're just keeping me around,
You've got me waiting for so long,
'Till something better comes along.
