Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're just another in a long line of men she screwed

Just another in a long line of men she knew

Oh yeah, she did, yeah, she did what she wanted to do

Like all the boys before, another dream come true

[Verse 2]

It's a power, it's a power, it's a power move

And while I'm not quite sure what she's trying to prove

They all say she's got low self-esteem

So, why is she looking like a cat who got the cream?

[Verse 3]

But you, you can do better than

You can do better than that

[Verse 4]

I know you've been feeling sad

I've got no right to be mad, mad

But you can do better than that

And I know that you're not to blame

You just got caught in a game, game

But you can do better than that

Better than that, better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

Better than that, better than that

Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 5]

She's the apple of everybody's eye

With an angel voice, devil in disguise

Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit

That the boys can taste 'til they're out of use

[Verse 6]

And she'll network till her dreams come true

Even if it means getting into bed with you

Everybody's friend, does it ring a bell?

I know a little too much but I'll never tell

[Verse 7]

But you, you can do better than

You can do better than that

[Verse 8]

I know you've been feeling sad

I've got no right to be mad, mad

But you can do better than that

And I know that you've been feeling down

You're always out on the town, town

But you can do better than that

Better than that, better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

Better than that, better than that

Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 9]

Well, I guess it's just what humans do

Hook up with other people till it all falls through

And when it's over, they go out and try and heal their pain

Hook up with another lover, do it all again

I'm not passing judgment on her sexual life

I'm passing judgment on the way she always stuck her knife

In my back ever since we were starting out

Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you

[Verse 10]

You can do better than

You can do better than that

[Verse 11]

I know you've been feeling sad

I've got no right to be mad, mad

But you can do better than that

And I know that you're not to blame

You just got caught in a game, game

But you can do better than that

Better than that, better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh

Better than that, better than that

Better than that, ooh-ooh-ooh
