You Better You Bet - Pete Townshend

You better you better you bet

You better you bet you bet

I call you on the telephone

My voice too rough with cigarettes

I sometimes feel I should just go home

But I’m dealing with a memory that never forgets

I to hear you say my name

Especially when you say yes.

I got your body right now on my mind

And I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T Rex

Oh, Oh, Yea

When I say I love you, you say «You better!»

You better you better you bet

When I say I love you, you scream «You better!»

You better you better you bet

You better bet your life

Or love will cut you

Like a knife.

I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown.

I’m not into your passport picture,

I just like your nose.

You welcome me with open arms and open legs

They say only fools have needs, but this one never begs.

I don’t really mind how much you love me A little is alright

When you say, «Come over and spend the night»

Tonight.

When I say I love you, you say «You better!»

You better you better you bet

When I say I love you, you scream «You better!»

You better you better you bet

You bet your life

Or love is gona cut you

Just like a knife.

I lay on the bed with you

We could make some book of records

Your dog keeps licking 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

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 that I been wearing crazy clothes, and I look pretty crappy sometime

But my body feels so good and I still ride a razor line every time

And when it comes to all night living

I know what I’m giving

I’ve got it all down to a tee

And it’s free

When I say I love you, you say «You better!»

You better you better you bet

When I say I love you, you scream «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 love you, you scream «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 scream «You better!»

You better you better you bet

«You better!»

You better you better you bet

«You better!»

You better you better you bet

You bet your life

Or love is gona cut you

Just like a knife.
