[Matt Nathanson - I Hope That Something Better Comes Along lyrics]
You can't live with 'em and
You can't live without 'em
There's somethin' irresistible-ish about 'em
We grin and bear it 'cause
The nights are long
But, I hope that somethin' better comes along
It's no good complainin'
And it's pointless to holler
If she's a beauty
Then she'll get underneath your collar
Yeah, she made a monkey out of old King Kong
Man, I hope that somethin' better comes along
Ah, but what could be better
Than a saucy Irish setter
When puppy love comes on strong?
Or a collie that's classy
A laddie needs a lassie
A lover and wife gives you
A new leash on life
Don't mean to scare ya, my friend
But I betcha come Father's Day
The litter bug is gonna getcha
The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong
Well, I hope that somethin'
Better comes along
Still, it's fun when they're fetching
And agree to see an etching that
You keep at your lily pad
Well, there's no solution
It's part of evolution
The pitter patter of soles
The little feet of tadpoles
There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'
Some get an itchin' for a
Critter they've been scratchin'
A skunk was badgered, the results were strong
And I hope that somethin' better
I hope that somethin' better, yeah
I hope that somethin' better comes along
You can't live without 'em
There's somethin' irresistible-ish about 'em
We grin and bear it 'cause
The nights are long
But, I hope that somethin' better comes along
It's no good complainin'
And it's pointless to holler
If she's a beauty
Then she'll get underneath your collar
Yeah, she made a monkey out of old King Kong
Man, I hope that somethin' better comes along
Ah, but what could be better
Than a saucy Irish setter
When puppy love comes on strong?
Or a collie that's classy
A laddie needs a lassie
A lover and wife gives you
A new leash on life
Don't mean to scare ya, my friend
But I betcha come Father's Day
The litter bug is gonna getcha
The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong
Well, I hope that somethin'
Better comes along
Still, it's fun when they're fetching
And agree to see an etching that
You keep at your lily pad
Well, there's no solution
It's part of evolution
The pitter patter of soles
The little feet of tadpoles
There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'
Some get an itchin' for a
Critter they've been scratchin'
A skunk was badgered, the results were strong
And I hope that somethin' better
I hope that somethin' better, yeah
I hope that somethin' better comes along
