Bonnie & Clyde: A New Musical movie - You Can Do Better Than Him lyrics

rate me

TED:

I give you fair warning

He's no bed of roses sweet Bonnie

I can't see him finding the time

to raise children, Hell no

He's wild and he's reckless

Ain't nothing but trouble

You're better without him

Ya think hard sweet Bonnie

And then you should think once again

We both know

You can do better than him

Why you deserve someone who's there all the time

Someone who thinks crime don't pay

I still see the snowy white dress that you wore

Playing the angel in some dumb school play

For a while I thought that you would fly away

I still see the apple cheeked girl that you were-yep

Hidin' in treetops

And feeding the birds

Makin' up rhymes

How you loved pretty words

CLYDE:

You could find someone that people respect

A man who is rich and smart

Someone who's known in all the right places

And knows the good book by heart

But I know

TED:

But I know

BOTH:

You won't do better than me

No - Not when it comes down to love that is true

There's no man who could love you like I do
