BETTER THAN THAT
By Ron Tintner & Pat Bishop
© 2006 - 2009

You say you wanna climb up to Everest’s peak
Where you can almost touch the sky
The top of the mountain is so cool and sleek
And looking down’ll make you high
Well, you know that mountain’s got a dangerous side
One wrong move, you can kiss it goodbye

But my love…. Won’t hurt you like that
My love, love, love ….it’s better than that

You think that shootin’ the rapids gonna give you a thrill
And make you feel good inside
That funky white water’s gonna give you a chill
And get you all wet and wild
Cuz you know the river’s got a dangerous side
You can drop like a rock, then drown and die

But my love…. Won’t hurt you like that |
My love, love, love ….it’s better than that

Bridge
Cuz I can take you up to heaven any day of the week
And you don’t even have to leave home (Don’t have to leave home)
If it’s thrills you need, then your body needs me
I can lift you high all night lo-o-ong

Break

Well You don’t need no river or mountain top
For excitement in your life (excitement in your life)
I got a safer way and baby you know I’m gonna
Satisfy your appetite (Satisfy your appetite)
And you won’t have to worry ‘bout a dangerous side
You know what I mean - give me a try

Cuz my love…… is better than that
My love, love, love …. nothing’s better than that

Tag: It’s better than a river; or a mountain
It’s better than anything anyone, anywhere ever could be
It’s better… better… better…
It’s better than that
