Making A Good Thing Better

(jules shear)

Well i've been so far away from you
Though standin' by your side
And there were nights we were so in love
That lovin' made me blind
But that time is so far below us now
The memory so thin

It's so easy to begin
But it's so hard to stop this love
It's just so hard to stop
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in
It's so easy to begin

And i've at least saved some lessons from
A time i fell apart
And i know you've been wondering why
I look at you so hard
But i never want to wake up someday
And wonder where we've been

It's so easy to begin
But it's so hard to stop this love
It's just so hard to stop
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in
It's so easy to begin

It's early in the morning
Today i'm moving away
Sittin' here for the last time
Makes me feel so strange

My life here has ended
Like a pulled up weed
Don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry

This situation reminds me
Of when i went away to school
My friends they all called me
And said i've been made a fool

My boyfriend he left me
For my best friend
Ahh don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry

'cause sad songs are tearin' up my heart again
Loneliness is standing in my path again
I can feel it comin'
I can hear it callin' out my name

I don't wanna remember
What i'm leavin' behind
The radio plays a sad song
And brings it on

Loneliness surrounds me
Like clouds bring rain
Ahh don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry

'cause sad songs are tearin' up my heart again
Loneliness is standing in my path again
I can feel it comin'
I can hear it callin' out my name

You say you want to know most everything about him
But babe, what you're saying is that you don't want to doubt him
If i told you all the truth you wouldn't want to see him anymore
But i'm his friend as well and there's no way i can tell
Tales that will make you unsure

Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie
Don't ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that i would like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend

I've known him for so long to me he's like a brother
And if i needed help will i know there'd be no other
But you're as close to me as any friend that i have ever known
I'm caught up in between his devil and your dream
Please make your choice on your own

Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie
Don't ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that i would like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend

It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music of the radio
No one's comin', no one's gonna telephone
Just me and him and the lights down low

And we're slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world

And we just float together when the lights are low
And the shadows dancing across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
And the rest of the world's so far away and small

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world

Hold me, please hold me
Don't ever let me go

And as we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
He whispers to me and i hold him tight
He's the one i thought i'd never find

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world

It won't be easy; you'll think it's strange
When i try to explain how i feel
That i still need your love after all that i've done
You won't believe me; all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
And its sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen; i had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window; staying out of the sun
So i chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me argentina
The truth is i never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance

And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all i desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me argentina
The truth is i never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance

Don't cry for me argentina
The truth is i never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise; don't keep your distance

Have i said too much
There's nothing more i can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

(peter wingfield)

Although i know our love is going strong
Little surprises kind of help it along
We mustn't let our lives become routine
Don't do anything we don't mean

There is no limit on love at all
It can always get better the deeper you fall
I'm sure without that love we won't survive
So come on and show it; let's keep it alive

And we'll be making a good thing better
But with luck it's gonna last forever
You'll see
Making a good thing better
That's the way we're gonna stay together
You and me

If we're to make each other satisfied
Gotta keep on tryin'; don't let it ride
It all comes over in the morning kiss
Don't do it like that; do it like this

Making a good thing better
But with luck it's gonna last forever
You'll see
Making a good thing better
That's the way we're gonna stay together
You and me

Make it so much better
It is better better
Make it so much better
Make it better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Better better

Making a good thing better
But with luck it's gonna last forever
You'll see
Making a good thing better
That's the way we're gonna stay together
You and me
