Verse One
All I needed was a little company to make me feel better
All I needed is a friend to lend a shoulder for me to cry on
All I needed was a little company to make me feel better
All I needed is a friend to lend a shoulder for me to cry on
Chorus
When the good die young and the bad go free
There's got to be something better
There's got to be something better
Verse Two
All I wanted was a lovin' helpin' hand to make me feel better
All I wanted was my luck to change hopin' it'd last forever
All I wanted was a lovin' helpin' hand to make me feel better
All I wanted was my luck to change hopin' it'd last forever
Middle Eight
Don't go to your grave with your music still playin'
I want it all, that's what I'm sayin'
There's got to be something better
There's got to be something better
Don't go to your grave with your music still playin'
I want it all, that's what I'm sayin'
There's got to be something better There's got to be something better
There's got to be something better There's got to be something better
