Better Things To Do

I heard you told the whole town

I was begging you to stay

That’s a fascinating story But I remember it another way

My friends all want the details They’ve got theories,

they’ve got plans

I said, “Girls, let’s change the subject And put a cold drink

in my hand!”

You can keep your version

I’ll keep my Saturday night

I got better things to do Than prove somebody wrong or right!

I GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO!

Got a whole new life and a better view Got the music

up, got my hair undone Got a whole lotta living that I

haven’t done! BETTER THINGS TO DO!

I ain’t wasting one more weekend Thinking ‘bout the way things used

to be

There’s a whole wide world waiting for me!

You sent a seven-page apology

At a quarter after three

I was halfway through a concert With a hundred strangers singing next

to me

I could write a clever answer

I could tell you what I think

But the drummer kicked into my favorite song And I forgot the

whole darn thing!

You can have the last word

I’ll take the last dance

You can sit around remembering I’m taking every chance!

I GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO!

Got a whole new life and a better view Got the music

up, got my hair undone Got a whole lotta living that I

haven’t done! BETTER THINGS TO DO!

I ain’t wasting one more weekend Thinking ‘bout the way things used

to be

There’s a whole wide world waiting for me!

I don’t need another explanation

Don’t need everybody on my side I’ve got tickets for tomorrow

And a thousand reasons left to smile!

I GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO!

Got a whole new life and a better view Got the music

up, got my hair undone Got a whole lotta living that I

haven’t done! BETTER THINGS TO DO!

You can keep the old conversation I’ve got somewhere wonderful to be

And the best part is I’m going there as me!

Better things to do! (hahaha)

Baby, I’m booked!
