Getting Better
Peter Frampton & Bee Gees Lyrics

It's getting better all the time
Things are improving steadily and consistently over time.

I used to get mad at my school
I used to feel angry and frustrated about attending school.

The teachers that taught me weren't cool
I didn't have a good opinion of the teachers who taught me because they weren't interesting or relatable to me.

You're holding me down
You (authority figures) are keeping me from achieving my full potential.

Filling me up with your rules
You (authority figures) are imposing strict guidelines on me that I must follow.

I've got to admit it's getting better
I have to acknowledge that things are improving for me.

A little better all the time
Things are slightly improving as time goes on.

I have to admit it's getting better
I must acknowledge that things are getting better for me.

It's getting better since you've been mine
Things have been improving since you entered my life.

Me used to be angry young man
I used to be an angry young man.

Me hiding me head in the sand
I used to avoid problems and not face them head-on.

You gave me the word
You (someone) gave me advice or guidance on how to handle things.

I finally heard
I finally understood the advice or guidance that was given to me.

I'm doing the best that I can
I am trying my hardest to improve and be the best I can be.

I used to be cruel to my woman
I used to treat my partner poorly and unfairly.

I beat her and kept apart from the things that she loved
I physically abused and emotionally isolated my partner from things that brought her happiness and joy.

Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
I used to be cruel, but I am now making an effort to be kinder and more compassionate towards my partner.

And I'm doing the best that I can
I am doing everything in my power to change and be a better person.

Yes I admit it's getting better
I acknowledge that things are continuing to improve for me.
