Better Things to Do (Acoustic Version) Lyrics by The Shootouts

Stampede

0

[Verse 1]
If love is like a two-man race
Then I'm the guy in second place
Now I oughta learn to live and learn
I don’t blame love, but I blame you
For my heartbroken point of view
Fallin' from a bridge you just burned
[Chorus]
I've got better things to do, better things to do
A better place for me is a hundred miles from you
I’ve got better things to do, better things to do
A better love for me could be anyone but you
[Verse 2]
They say every dog will have his day
Lonely ain't no place to stay
It's better to have loved than not at all
But words don't keep me warm at night
I need someone to hold me tight
Lovin' arms to catch me when I fall
[Chorus]
I've got better things to do, better things to do
A better place for me is a hundred miles from you
I've got better things to do, better things to do
A better love for me could be anyone but you
[Verse 3]
When my heart don't hurt no more
And you come knockin’ on my door
Temptin’ me to get back in the race
I'll get up on my feet again
And leave you like you left me then
You’ll see how it feels from second place
[Chorus]
I've got better things to do, better things to do
A better place for me is a hundred miles from you
I've got better things to do, better things to do
A better love for me could be anyone but you
[Outro]
Oh, anyone but you
