Lyrics

Better Deal
Words & Music by John M.
c. 1988. SESAC

I remember when you thought you had it all worked out
Hey stand back, take a look at you now
Where did all your get rich quick schemes lead?
You were gonna be the one to show us all how..
Hey stand back, take a look at you now
Have I got something that you need?

Chorus:
Okay, I know, it must be hard to let it all go
I can just imagine how you feel
Anyway, gotta go,
Remember this time, next time though
Maybe you can make a better deal...

You were always talkin' just a little too loud
Hey stand back, take a look at you now
Have you nothing more to say?
Always running up ahead of the crowd
Hey stand back, take a look at you now
Is someone standing in your way?

Chorus 2:
Wake up, smell the tea,
But don't try to pedal that crap on me
I'm not the one who put you here
Look around, try to see
What you are now and what you could be
You better get your ass in gear...
Oh, get out o' here!

Bridge:
Sometimes all you need is money
Sometimes all you need is love
Some folks get everything they ask for
And even that is not enough!
Oh, not enough, for you

Repeat 1st verse & chorus.
