My best friend had a little situation at the end of our senior year
And like a shot, she and Mitchel got married that summer
Caroline getting bigger every minute thinking what am I doing here
While Mitchel is out every night being a heavy metal drummer
They got a little cute house, on a little cute street with the crucifix on the door
Mitchel got a job at the record store in the mall
Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the east I'm sure
I thought about what I wanted, it wasn't like that at all
Made Caroline a cute baby sweater thinking
I can do better than that
ย
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 the class I was taking who you might say looked like Tom Cruise
He wouldn't leave me alone unless 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 the better part of a year
And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might work
And the second in 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 haircut
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 don't 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 of 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 you to throw off all your walls and defences
I dont mean to put on any pressure but I know when a thing is right
And I spend everyday reconfiguring my senses
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 anymore
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 bullshit 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
