i used to think that it all stopped happening
by the time you reached twenty one
they said there’s nothing like the first love you get boy
they were wrong oh so wrong
they hung on and hung on to their dream i know
life gets better yeah
whenever i’m in her arms
just to know i’m not the average fella
i’m the one i’m the one for her
well it’s a shame what they do to these young kids
just encourage them to act like clowns
and then they think that they don’t have much longer
knocked up the first time she let em get down
put four walls around and then scream but i know
repeat
life stretches before me an endless mystery
and nothing can bore me when she’s with me
i feel the heartbeat of the world in the hands of this girl
but it takes so much time to to finally see see see
i get a thrill when i think how it really is
no one can ever take that away
they try to put rubber bands around your heart
but they’re wrong oh so wrong they hung on
and hung on to their dream but i know
life gets better yeah
when ever i’m in her arms
just to know i’m not the average fella
i’m the one i’m the one for her
oooh life gets better yeah when ever i’m in her arms
just to know i’m not the average sucker i’m the one i’m the one for her
oooh life gets better yeah oooh life gets better yeah
oooh life gets better yeah
