Better Life

(lyrics by arnold)
(music by roberts, arnold, harrell & henderson)

If you could step into my head, tell
Me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed, tell me
Then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
Leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head
I call mine
And i will say
Oh no i can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my
World, so i need you
Your imitation of my walk and the
Perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
Things that i love about you
So i need you
So i need you
So i need you
So i need you
And if i jumped off the brooklyn
Bridge, tell me would you
Still follow me
And if i made you mad today, tell
Me would you love me
Tomorrow? please
Or would you say that you don't
Care, and then leave me
Standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in
Despair and screamin'
Oh no i can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my
World, so i need you
Your imitation of my walk and the
Perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
Things that i love about you
So i need you
So i need you
So i need you
So i need you
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Oh no i can't let you go, my
Little girl
Because you're holding up my
World, so i need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
Things that i love about you
So i need you
So i need you
So i need you

Seven days underpaid gotta
Give it up
Got no time for this life that
I'm livin' up
Shackled down, kicked
Around, now slave to the grind
Need some time for myself
I'll give you anything that you
Want me to
But i don't have the time so
I'll get up with you
If you don't have the time so
I'll get up with you
If you don't understand man
You've got to believe
There is too much of you but
There is not enough of me
There is not enough of me
Same old song world moves
On while i'm still in bed
Meet tomorrow today just to
Get ahead
Jump the gun on the run,
I'm the only one
Who thinks that
I'm fallin' behind?
I'll give you anything that
You want me to
But i don't have the time
So i'll get up with you
If you don't understand
Man you've got to believe
There is too much of you
But there is not enough of me
There is not enough of me
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But i don't have the time so i'll
Get up with you
If you don't understand man
You've got to believe
There is too much of you there
Is too much of me
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But i don't have the time so i'll
Get up with you
If you don't understand man
You've got to believe
There is too much of you but there
Is not enough of me

Breathe in right away, nothing seems
To fill this place
I need this every time, take your
Lies get off my case
Some day i will find, a love that flows
Through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away
You're getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause i'm a loser and sooner or later
You know i'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding
The rope and i'm taking the fall
Cause i'm a loser, i'm a loser, yeah
This is getting old, i can't break these
Chains that i hold
My body's growing cold, there's nothing
Left of this mind or my soul
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of
This poison is taking me higher
This will fall away, this will fall away
You're getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause i'm a loser and sooner or later
You know i'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding
The rope and i'm taking the fall
Cause i'm a loser
You're getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause i'm a loser and sooner or later
You know i'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding
The rope and i'm taking the fall
Cause i'm a loser

He spent his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen
And now he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention, right now
Just before he says good night
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says
[Chorus:]
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
yeah
Now in dreams we run
She spends her days up in the north park
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream
Is that too much to ask?
With a safe home and a warm bed
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to hold on too
Thats all she needs
yeah
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
I'm falling into this
In dreams we run away
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
yeah
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
yeah
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
yeah
yeah
Falling in
I feel lost
Falling into this
Again

to this world i'm unimportant just
Because i have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But i won't turn away, oh no
And i won't turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though i'm trying so
Damn hard
I'm trying so hard
This world can turn me down but i
Won't turn away
And i won't duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause i'm already here, oh no!
I am already here, down
On my knees
I am already here, on no, i am
Already here
I must have told you a thousand
Times i am not running away
I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
No, no pass away
This world can turn me down but i
Won't turn away
And i won't duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause i'm already here
This world can turn me down
But i won't turn away
And i won't duck away
Cause i'm not built that way
When everything is gone there
Is nothing there to fear
This world cannot
Bring me down
No cause i'm already here

kryptonite - 3 doors down

I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing i can do, yeah
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all i knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If i go crazy then will you still
Call me superman
If i'm alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets i will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,

If not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
If i go crazy then will you still
Call me superman
If i'm alive and well,
Will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!
If i go crazy then will you still
Call me superman
If i'm alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
