Life Gets Better Lyrics - Graham Parker

I used to think that it all stopped happening 

by the time you reached twenty one 

They said there's nothing like the first love you get boy 

They were wrong, oh so wrong, 

they hung on and hung on, to their dream, I know 

CHORUS 

Life gets better yeah 

When ever I'm in her arms 

Just to know I'm not the average fella 

I'm the one, I'm the one for her 

Well it's a shame what they do to these young kids 

Just encourage them to act like clowns 

And then they think that they don't have much longer 

Knocked up the first time she let em get down 

Put four walls around and then scream, but I know

REPEAT CHORUS 

Life stretches before me an endless mystery 

And nothing can bore me, when she's with me 

I feel the heartbeat of the world in the hands of this girl 

But it takes so much time to, to finally see, see, see 

I get a thrill when I think how it really is 

Noone can ever take that away 

They try to put rubber bands around your heart 

But they're wrong, oh so wrong, they hung on 

and hung on, to their dream, but I know 

Life gets better yeah 

When ever I'm in her arms 

Just to know I'm not the average fella 

I'm the one, I'm the one for her

Oooh Life gets better yeah, When ever I'm in her arms 

Just to know I'm not the average sucker, I'm the one, I'm the one for her 

Oooh Life gets better yeah, Oooh Life gets better yeah 

Oooh Life gets better yeah
