Dm I, who took the money? Who took the money away? I, I, I, I, it's always showtime Here at the edge of the stage I, I, I, wake up and wonder What was the place, what was the name? We wanna wait, but here we go again I, takes over slowly But doesn't last very long I, I, I, I, no need to worry Everything's under control O-U-T, but no hard feelings What do you know? Take you away We're being taken for a ride again Chorus: Dm C Dm C I got a girlfriend that's better than that Dm C Dm F G A7 She has the smoke in her eyes Dm C Dm C She's coming up, going right through my heart Dm C Dm F G A7 She's gonna give me surprise Dm C Dm C I think it's right, it's better than this, Dm C Dm F G A7 I think you can if you like Dm C Dm C I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair Dm C Dm F G A7 And nothing is better than that is it? Down, down in the basement We hear the sound of machines I, I, I'm driving in circles Come to my senses sometimes Why, why, why, why start it over? Nothing was lost, everything's free I don't care how impossible it seems Chorus: Somebody calls you but you cannot hear Get closer to be far away And only one look and that's all that it takes Maybe that's all that we need All that it takes, I'll bet it's right All it takes, if it's right I got a girlfriend that's better than that And she goes wherever she likes (there she goes) I got a girlfriend that's better than that Now everyone's getting involved She's moving up, going right through my heart We might not ever get caught Going right through, try to stay cool Going through, staying cool I got a girlfriend, she's better than that And nothing is better than you (wait a minute) Chorus: I got a girlfriend that's better than this But you don't remember at all As we get older and stop making sense You won't find her waiting long Stop making sense, stop making sense Stop making sense, making sense I got a girlfriend, she's better than that And nothing is better than this (is it?)
