I Hope That Something Better Comes Along Songtext

von Matt Nathanson

You can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em
There's something irresistablish about 'em
We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long
But I hope that something better comes along

It's no good complaining and it's pointless to holler
If she's a beauty she'll get underneath your collar
And she made a monkey out of old King Kong
Now I hope that something better comes along

Ah, but what could be better than a saucy Irish setter
When puppy love comes on strong?
Or a collie that's classy, a laddie needs a lassie
A lover and a wife gives you a new leash on life

Don't mean to scare you, my friend but I betcha
Come Father's Day the little bug is gonna getcha
The urge is righteous but the face is wrong
But I hope that something better comes along

Still, it's fun when they're fetching
And agree to see an etching that you keep at your lily pad
Well, there's no solution, it's part of evolution
The pitter patter of soles, the little feet of tadpoles

There's no limitation to mixing and matching
Some get an itching for a critter they've been scratching
A skunk was badgered, the results were strong
And I hope that something better, I hope that something better
I hope that something better comes along
