[Verse 1]
Legs are shaking, hands are aching
Head is pounding, back is breaking
The more I give, the more they're taking
I'm broken down, there's no mistaking
There's no time now for goodness saking
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a simple man, but I'm hard to please
Don't mind you making it hard for me
I don't want to be on my own forever
Alone I'm no good, but when we're together
[Chorus]
I'm better than ever
When I'm looking at you I'm better in every way
Better than ever
Got a smile like sunshine
Brightens up the darkest of days
Yeah, when we're together
And that's the way I feel and I'm blaming it all on you
'Cause I'm better than ever, better than ever, better than ever
Ain't that the truth
[Verse 2]
Everybody from the front to the back
From the left to the right
Let me see you just clap your hands now
You know you make me feel good right?
You make me say hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Whoa, whoa (Whoa, whoa)
You make me say hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Come on, whoa (Whoa)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a simple man I've got simple needs
But you're the only kinda trouble for me
I don't want to be on my own forever
Alone I'm no good, but when we're together
[Chorus]
I'm better than ever
When I'm looking at you I'm better in every way
Better than ever
Got a smile like sunshine
Brightens up the darkest of days
Yeah, when we're together
And that's the way I feel and I'm blaming it all on you
'Cause I'm better than ever, better than ever, better than ever
Ain't that the truth
[Bridge]
Better, better, better, better (Alright now)
Better than ever
Better, better, better, better
Better than ever
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
[Chorus]
I'm better than ever
When I'm looking at you I'm better in every way
Better than ever
Got a smile like sunshine
Brightens up the darkest of days
Yeah, when we're together
And that's the way I feel and I'm blaming it all on you
'Cause I'm better than ever, better than ever, better than ever
Ain't that the truth
Better Than Ever was written by Aloe Blacc & Hugo Gruzman & James Lyell.
Better Than Ever was produced by Flight Facilities & Jono Ma.
Flight Facilities released Better Than Ever on Wed Oct 16 2019.
The conception of it started about three years ago, and it’s been through a few phases. We were going to work with Charles Bradley, but he unfortunately passed away, so had this instrumental that lent itself to a soul vocal and management got in touch with Aloe Blacc.
He heard the original version...
