Better by Far Lyrics by Caravan

Better by Far

1977

Better by some, better by far
Better to have tried than never
Back of a bus, seat of a car
Than never to have tried at all

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm a fool about you
Can tell there's no way I'm gonna stay
With then what else was so long

Oh, what I wanna do is just lay down with you tonight
Set 'em up boy, wanna make love tonight

Easily come, easily go
Easy to believe in nothing
Set 'em up fast, take 'em down slow
Give it down and have a ball

You can buy gin, you can by hymn
And you can buy the world around you
But you can get roughed, and you can get fluffed
If you'd have no love at all

Oh, what I wanna do is just a lay down with you tonight
Set 'em up boy, wanna make love tonight

Oh, I got a love and I just want to let it grow
Oh, a gift from above, tellin' me, tellin' me to let it show

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm a fool about you
Maybe I'll fight, maybe I've flung it
All around for too long

Bet you I will be lovin' you still
Well it's often bad around you
You and I must take it on trust
We're gonna carry on...

So, what I wanna do is just a lay down with you tonight
Set 'em up boy, wanna make love tonight
