Can't Get Much Better
Loverboy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time in the makin'
We always knew that we could reach this place
Sometimes it's hard to find a reason to run
We'll still be standin' at the end of the race

Nobody said it would be easy
Sometimes it's hard to keep your dreams alive
It's so close we can taste it, counting the nights
With my eyes wide open, for the power drive

We will rock, we won't stop
Better get ready, cause ready or not
So hold on, to what we got, hold on

Burn down to the ground, we got a volatile situation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're gonna get it right
'Cause it couldn't be better
Burn down to the ground, we're gonna violate our probation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're gonna get it right
'Cause it couldn't be better
It couldn't be better
It can't get much better than this

Oh no, it can't get much better
Oh no, It can't get much better than this

Why don't you meet me after midnight
We're gonna ride that electric high
It's now or never, and the time is right
Turn up the power, we'll split the sky tonight

We will rock, we won't stop
Better get ready, cause ready or not
So hold on, to what we got, hold on

Burn down to the ground, we got a volatile situation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're gonna get it right
'Cause it couldn't be better
Burn down to the ground, we're going to violate
Our probation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're gonna get it right
'Cause it couldn't be better, it couldn't be better
It can't get much better than this

Oh no, it can't get much better
Oh no, it can't get much better

Burn down to the ground, we got a volatile situation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're gonna get it right
'Cause it couldn't be better
Burn down to the ground, we're going to violate
Our probation
We're gonna rock tonight, we're going to gel it right
'Cause it couldn't be better
It couldn't be better
It can't get much better than this

It can't get much better
It can't get much better




It can't get much better
It can't get much better than this
