Lyrics
BETTER GIRLS THAN YOU
© Greg C. Brown/C. Stewart 2013
It started when I was a kid
Miss Johnson’s first grade class
I sat two rows behind a girl
Named Polly Pendergrass
Sweet Polly was a pretty girl
All freckle-faced and curls
My friend passed her a note I wrote
Said “I like you a bunch
And if you’d sit with me today
I’ll share with you my lunch.”
She saw my tuna fish and said
“I’d rather eat with Steve instead.”
Well, it’s for certain that this hurtin’ you have put on me
Will just begin, the constant trend, my life is bound to be
So, go ahead, girl, do your worst; this much I know is true
I’ll be done this way again by better girls than you
So I grew into a handsome lad
This claim I will defend
Successful in my chosen field
With lots of dough to spend
I met a sassy debutant
Said "I'll give you anything you want."
Small talk, a few more drinks
Then, "Can I drive you home?"
She said she was a simple girl
But couldn't be alone
She loved me good, she loved me long
She loved me till my cash was gone
You can hurt me and desert me, knock me to the ground
But I’ve been cheated and mistreated by the best around
So, go ahead and do your worst, you know it’s nothing new
‘Cause I’ve been done this way before by better girls than you
BRIDGE
Better girls than you have caught my eye and turned my head
Better girls than you have left me wishing I was dead
Better girls than you have maxed out all my credit cards
Better girls than you have left me battered, bruised and scarred
A gorgeous, buxom, blue-eyed blonde
Was standing ‘cross the room
Among the beer and cigarettes
I smelled her sweet perfume
A clever line, a girlish grin
Oh Lord, here I go again
You can break me and mistake me for a garbage heap
Humiliate and castrate me when I’m sound asleep
But I will take it all in stride because that’s what I do
Cause I’ve been done this way before by better girls than you
Better girls than you
