[Verse 1]
I've been fat, I've been thin
Thin is better
I've been out, I've been in
In is better
I have lost and I have won
Losing isn't any fun
Rain is fine, but when it's done
Sun is better

[Verse 2]
I've been poor, I've been rich
Rich is better
Fancy or not a stitch
Which is better?
I've been healthy and in pain
Pain is reason to complain
Ask someone who's been insane
Sane is better

[Bridge]
You and I is better
Think and you'll agree
Better than just you
Better than just me
[Verse 3]
All our days
What we called fun was better
All our nights
Every last one was better
Go and prove I'm better
Put it to the test
When you've convalesced
Here's what I'd suggest
Better look me up
And settle for the best

[Verse 4]
I've been good, I've been bad
Bad is better
Needs okay
Having just had is better
I've been fire, I've been ice
I've been naughty, I've been nice
I've been naughty once or twice
Twice is better

[Bridge]
You and I is better
It's a better tune
Better soon than late
Better now than soon
[Verse 5]
Life is short
What is today is better
Don't be long
Run the whole way is better
Darling, love is better
And it's time you guessed
Put it to the test
Feather every nest
Bring it all on home
And settle for
The best
The best
The best
