The Last 5 Years movie - I Can Do Better Than That lyrics
rate me<br>
CATHERINE<br>
My best friend had a little situation<br>
At the end of our senior year<br>
And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer<br>
Carolann getting bigger every minute<br>
Thinking, "What am I doing here?"<br>
While Mitchell's out every night<br>
Being a heavy-metal drummer<br>
They got a little cute house on a little cute street<br>
With a crucifix on the door<br>
Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall<br>
Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore<br>
I thought about what I wanted<br>
It wasn't like that at all<br>
Made Carolann a cute baby sweater<br>
Thinking "I can do better than that"<br>
<br>
In a year or so, I moved to the city<br>
Thinking "What have I got to lose?"<br>
Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner<br>
Met a guy in a class I was taking who you might say<br>
Looked like Tom Cruise<br>
He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner<br>
And I guess he was cute<br>
And I guess he was sweet<br>
ANd I guess he was good in bed<br>
I gave up my life for a better part of a year<br>
And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might work<br>
And the second it entered my head<br>
He needed to take some time off<br>
Focus on his "career"<br>
He blew me off with a heartfelt letter<br>
I thought "I can do better than that"<br>
<br>
You don't have to get a haircute<br>
You don't have to change your shoes<br>
You don't have to like Duran Duran<br>
Just love me<br>
<br>
You don't have to put the seat down<br>
You don't have to watch the news<br>
You dont' have to learn to tango<br>
You don't have to eat prosciutto<br>
You don't have to change a thing<br>
Just stay with me<br>
<br>
I want you and you and nothing but you<br>
Miles and piles of you<br>
Finally I'll have something worthwhile<br>
To think about each morning<br>
<br>
You and you and nothing but you<br>
No substitution will do<br>
Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure<br>
Top of the line and totally mine!<br>
<br>
I don't need any lifetime commitments<br>
I don't need to get hitched tonight<br>
I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses<br>
I don't mean to put on any pressure<br>
But I know what a thing is right<br>
And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense<br>
When we get to my house, take a look at that town<br>
Take a look at how far I've gone<br>
<br>
I will never go back<br>
Never look back anymoure<br>
And it feels like my life led right to your side<br>
And will keep me there from now on<br>
Think about what you wanted<br>
Think about what could be<br>
THink about how I love you<br>
Say you'll move in with me<br>
Think of what's great about me and you<br>
Think of the bullshit we've both been through<br>
Think of what's past because we can do better!<br>
We can do better!<br>
We can do better than that!<br>
We can do better than that!<br>
<br>
