Getting Better
Beatlesque Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's getting better all the time.

I used to get mad in my school
(No, I can't complain)
The teachers that taught me weren't cool
(No, I can't complain)
Holding me down, turning me round,
Filling me up with your rules.

I've got to admit it's getting better,
A little better all the time
(Can't get no worse)
To admit it's getting better,
It's getting better
Since you've been mine.

Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can.

To admit it's getting better,
A little better all the time
To admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.

Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better,
It's getting better all the time.
Better, better, better.

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart
From the things that she loved
Man I was mean
But I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can.

I admit it's getting better,
A little better all the time (can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since
You've been mine.

Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better,
It's getting better all the time.





Better, better, better,
Getting so much better all the time.

Overall Meaning

"Getting Better" is a song by Beatlesque that talks about the process of growing up, accepting change and becoming a better person. The opening line of the chorus suggests that the singer is experiencing some improvement in his life. The first verse of the song is a reminiscence of his school days when he was mad at his teachers who weren't cool and the rules-filled environment he was in. However, he admits that it is getting better since the time he met someone who changed his life for the better. The second verse talks about a man who used to be angry and cruel, mistreating his woman. The song suggests that he's changing his ways, trying to improve his life, and be the best person he can be.


The chorus, "I've got to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time," emphasizes the idea that change is a slow but steady process, and it takes time. The verses indicate different stages in life where the singer had to face challenges, but gradually things are turning around. The phrase "Can't get no worse" implies that, although the situation isn't ideal, at least it is improving. "Better, better, better" is a repetition that reinforces the slowly but surely getting better idea, and the increase in tempo at the end of the song reflects this feeling of positivity and progression.


In conclusion, "Getting Better" is an upbeat, optimistic song that encourages listeners to grow and become better versions of themselves. It shows us that change is possible, even when it seems challenging. The song is a message of hope, telling us that as long as we keep pushing ourselves in the right direction, we can achieve progress.

TraeTormentas

Esta canción es sobre una frase que solía decir Jimmy Nicols, el baterista que reemplazó temporalmente a Ringo, sobre cómo se sentía con la banda.

John Lennon

''Sir, I Have a Pla... ¡¡MEIN FHÜRER, I CAN WALK!!''

Felipe Ortega

Si si ya sabemos que vienes por el video de gino saico

Roling Villanueva

El tema es una majestuosa Lennon/McCartney.
Si se dan cuenta la letra parece ser escrita por Lennon, el era muy malo en la escuela, el solia pegar a su mujer, la ironia de Lennon contradiciendo a Paul es Arte.
Paul dijo de este tema que le gustaba componer con Lennon, como lo haciamos antes.

Johnny Walker

Es un gran tema. Es cierto que parece la vida de Lennon.

D Santos

Creio que é uma McLennon song

Matthew Murdock

Esto es arte, ¡APRECIENLO!

Johnny Walker

LENNON-MCCARTNEY 100%

CAAS
