Knight Gladys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's a better than good time
for making up your mind to stay
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
now you're here with me, this way
'cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then
tell me that you're ready to try again
for making up your mind about love
it's taken half of my life to see
maybe the best thing that ever happened to me
i just let slip through my fingers
like he was nothing at all (nothing at all)
nothing at all
all over and out of touch
and my own company doesn't thrill me too much
right now it's hard to imagine
i used to believe, it couldn't happen to me
it shouldn't happen to me
ohh!
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
for making up your mind to stay
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
now you're here with me, this way
'cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then
tell me that you're ready to try again
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
for making up your mind about love
you could say i'm the classic case
my own thoughtlessness thrown back in my face
till that part of my life
i'd learned nothing at all (nothing at all)
nothing at all
when midnight holds no more
than a worn out movie that you've seen before
that's when you start realizing
what life could be
it couldn't happen to me
it shouldn't happen to me
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
for making up your mind to stay
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
now you're here with me, this way
'cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then
tell me that you're ready to try again
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
for making up your mind about love
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
for making up your mind to stay
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
now you're here with me, this way
'cause i've changed a lot, from how I was then
tell me that you're ready to try again
it's a better than good time
it's a better than good time
for making up your mind about love
