Better Things Lyrics by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

I Learned the Hard Way

2010

[Intro]-
*Chatter*
[Verse 1]
I'm a better woman than I have been
'Cause I don't think about way back when
It takes two to love but only one to leave
It was you who did that dirty deed
[Chorus]
I got better things to do
Better things to do
Better things to do than remember you
I got better things to do
Better things to do
Better things to do than remember you
Uh-huh, yeah, mmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
It's a brighter day than ever before
'Cause I don't think about you no more
I got a new life and I'm feeling right on
My head is high and my spirit is strong
[Chorus]
I got better things to do
Better things to do
Better things to do than remember you
I got better things to do
Better things to do
Better things to do than remember you
[Bridge]
Oh, ah, mmm
I got better things to do
[Chorus]
I got better things to do
Better things to do
Better things to than remember you
I got better things to do
Better things to do
Better things to do than remember you, you, oh-ah-ah
[Outro]
Better things to do than remember you
Ooh, I got better things to do
Better things to do than remember you
Mmm, I got a new walk
Better things to do than remember you
Mmm, got me, listen, I got a new talk, mhm-hmm-hmm
Better things to do than remember you
Whoa-ho, life goes on, mmm
Better things to do than remember you
You see, my spirit is strong
Better things to do than remember you
I, I got to keep moving on, I got to keep moving on
Better things to do than remember you
I got to keep moving, yeah
Better things to do than remember you
Oh, I got better, mhm, better things to do
Better things to do than remember you
I got better, mmm, oh-ho, oh-oh-oh
Better things to do than remember you
