Story Behind The Song

a song of a woman's intuition in her underwear.

Song Description

Again backed by the Mojo Monkeys, drummer David Raven, bassist Taras Prodaniuk and Billy Watts, who co-produced, on guitars, it's a sophisticated brew of blues, soul and Americana, striking up a samba infused sultry sway on 'Better Than You Think', Christof Waibel laying down the Hammond and Wurlitzer groove as Wimmer sings how she's "gonna squeeze you in the mountain fresh air/in my underwear" and then, following a bluesy Watts solo, doing it again, "naturally bare".- Mike Davies, folking.com, UK

Lyrics

better than you think, beth wimmer - 2020

i know you better than you think
i know just what you like to drink
i know you do it in the morning sometimes
i know you better than you think

i love you fuller and you know
than any girl could ever hope
i take you high and keep you rolling
oh oh i love you long time and you know

chorus -
i'm gonna hug you in the morning real soon
i'm gonna kiss you in the sun at high noon
gonna squeeze you in the mountain fresh air
in my underwear

i know you better than you think
sometimes you're living on the brink
i think my loving gonna bring you good luck
i know you better than you think

solo -

with me you're in good hands
i lift you up like no one can
and make you feel like you're the richest of men
i got your back you understand

chorus -
i'm gonna hug you in the morning real soon
i'm gonna kiss you in the sun at high noon
gonna love you in the mountain fresh air
naturally bare
and then i'll hold you in the morning again
kiss you in the sunshine and then
gonna squeeze you in the mountain fresh air
in my underwear

i know you better than you think
i know just how you like your drink
and i can make it in the morning sometimes
i know you better than you think
