[00:13.89]My best friend had a little situation
[00:16.08]At the end of our senior year
[00:19.75]And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer
[00:26.08]Carolann getting bigger every minute
[00:28.69]Thinking, \"What am I doing here?\"
[00:32.23]While Mitchell's out every night
[00:33.98]Being a heavy-metal drummer
[00:37.79]They got a little cute house on a little cute street
[00:40.97]With a crucifix on the door
[00:44.67]Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall
[00:50.53]Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore
[00:56.81]I thought about what I wanted
[01:00.21]It wasn't like that at all
[01:03.32]Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
[01:06.38]Thinking \"I can do better than that\"
[01:10.11]
[01:21.28]In a year or so, I moved to the city
[01:23.68]Thinking \"What have I got to lose?\"
[01:27.39]Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner
[01:33.68]Met a guy in a class I was taking he wears very well place tattoo
[01:40.00]He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner
[01:45.95]And I guess he was cute
[01:47.54]And I guess he was sweet
[01:48.77]And I guess he was good in bed
[01:52.16]I gave up my life for a better part of a year
[01:58.25]So I'm starting to think that this maybe might work
[02:01.23]And the second it entered my head
[02:04.43]He needed to take some time off
[02:07.64]Focus on his \"career\"
[02:10.79]He blew me off with a heartfelt letter
[02:14.41]I thought \"I can do better than that\"
[02:17.52]
[02:18.96]You don't have to get a haircute
[02:21.93]You don't have to change your shoes
[02:25.03]You don't have to like Duran Duran
[02:28.54]Just love me
[02:31.58]You don't have to put the seat down
[02:34.55]You don't have to watch the news
[02:37.76]You dont' have to learn to tango
[02:40.88]You don't have to eat prosciutto
[02:44.17]You don't have to change a thing
[02:46.82]Just stay with me
[02:52.87]I want you and you and nothing but you
[02:56.79]Miles and piles of you
[02:59.32]Finally I'll have something worthwhile
[03:02.51]To think about each morning
[03:06.14]You and you and nothing but you
[03:09.53]No substitution will do
[03:11.92]Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
[03:14.98]Top of the line and totally mine!
[03:28.35]I don't need any lifetime commitments
[03:30.97]I don't need to get hitched tonight
[03:34.14]I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses
[03:40.38]I don't mean to put on any pressure
[03:43.41]But I know what a thing is right
[03:46.94]And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense
[03:52.49]When we get to my house, take a look at that town
[03:55.59]Take a look at how far I've gone
[03:58.94]I will never go back
[04:00.28]Never look back anymoure
[04:05.17]And it feels like my life led right to your side
[04:08.17]And will keep me there from now on
[04:11.72]Think about what you wanted
[04:14.79]Think about what could be
[04:18.00]Think about how I love you
[04:21.00]Say you'll move in with me
[04:24.18]Think of what's great about me and you
[04:27.28]Think of the bullsh*t we've both been through
[04:30.40]Think of what's past because we can do better!
[04:38.11]We can do better!
[04:44.39]We can do better than that!
[04:53.82]We can do better than that!
