You Better You Bet

Pete Townshend

    Continues after the ad

    You better you better you bet
    You better you bet you bet

    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 to hear you say my name
    Especially when you say yes.
    I got your body right now on my mind
    And I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T Rex
    Oh, Oh, Yea

    When I say I love you, you say "You better!"
    You better you better you bet
    When I say I love you, you scream "You better!"
    You better you better you bet
    You better bet your life
    Or love will cut you
    Like a knife.

    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
    They say only fools have needs, but this one never begs.

    Continues after the ad

    I don't really mind how much you love me
    A little is alright
    When you say, "Come over and spend the night"
    Tonight.

    When I say I love you, you say "You better!"
    You better you better you bet
    When I say I love you, you scream "You better!"
    You better you better you bet
    You bet your life
    Or love is gona cut you
    Just like a knife.

    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
    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

    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 that I been wearing crazy clothes, and I look pretty crappy sometime
    But my body feels so good and I still ride a razor line every time

    And when it comes to all night living
    I know what I'm giving
    I've got it all down to a tee
    And it's free

    When I say I love you, you say "You better!"
    You better you better you bet
    When I say I love you, you scream "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 love you, you scream "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
    "You better!"
    You better you better you bet
    "You better!"
    You better you better you bet
    You bet your life
    Or love is gona cut you
    Just like a knife.
