Intro

You better you better you bet

Verse 1

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that
never forgets
I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind but I've drunk myself blind to the
sound of old T.Rex
   
 
To the sound of old T Rex
A Asus2* E
Oh, and who's next

Chorus

When I say I love you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you say you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you
Cut you like a knife

Verse 2

I want those feeble minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture, I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me
Oh a little is all right
When you say come over and spend the night
A Asus2* E
Tonight Tonight

Chorus

When I say I love you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you say you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you
Cut you like a knife

Bridge

I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters saying you better
You better bet your life
You better love me
all the time now
you better shove me
Back into line now
You better love me
all the time now
you better shove me
Back into line now

Verse 3

I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
I know I've been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy sometimes
But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime
And when it comes to all night living
I know what I'm giving
I've got it all down to a tee
Asus2* E
And it's free

Chorus 2

When I say I love you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I love you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you scream you better
You better you better you bet

Outro

When I say I love you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you say you better
You better you better you bet
  
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you
Just like a knife
