The Who – You Better You Bet

The Who – You Better You Bet lyrics

You better, you better, you bet!
You better, you better, you bet!

I call you on the telephone
My voice too rough from cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I’m leavin’ with a memory that never forgets

I love to hear you say my name
Especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind
But I jump myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex
To the sound of old T-Rex
And Who’s Next.

When I say I love you, you say you better
You better, you better, you bet!
When I say I need you, you say you better
You better, you better, you bet!
You better bet your life
Or it will cut you
Cut you like a knife

I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps lickin’ my nose
And chewing up all those letters
Saying you better!
You better bet your life!

You better love me
All the time now
You better shove me
Back into line now

You better love me
All the time now
You better shove me
Back into line now

I showed up late one night
With a neon light for a visa
But knowing I’m so eager to fight
Can’t make letting me in any easier

I know I’d be wearing crazy clothes
And I look pretty crappy sometimes!
But your body feels so good
And I still see a razor line, everytime

And when it comes
To all that living
I know what I’m giving
I got it all down to a “T”
And it’s free.

When I say I love you, you say you better
You better, you better, you bet!
When I say I need you, you say you better
You better, you better, you bet!

When I say I love you, you say you better
You better, you better, you bet!
When I say I need you, you screamed you’d better
You better, you better, you bet!

When I say I love you, you say you better
You better, you better, you bet!
When I say I need you, you say you better
You better, you better, you bet!

You better bet your life
Or it will cut you
Cut you like a knife.
