It's getting better all the time I used to get mad at my school No, I can't complain The teachers that taught me weren't cool No, I can't complain They're holding me down I'm through Turning me round I'm through Filling me up with your rules I've got to admit It's getting better A little better All the time I can't get the words I have to admit It's getting better It's getting better Since you've been mine We used to be angry young men Me hiding my head in the sand You gave me the word I finally heard You're doing the best that I can I've got to admit It's getting better A little better All the time I can't get the words I have to admit It's getting better It's getting better Since you've been mine Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time Better, better, better It's getting better all the time Better, better, better I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart From the things that she loved Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene And I'm doing the best that I can I admit It's getting better A little better All the time I can't get the words I have to admit It's getting better It's getting better Since you've been mine Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time Better, better, better It's getting better all the time Better, better, better Getting so much better all the time *
