You Better, You Bet
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who; David West



You better you better you bet
I call you on the telephone
my voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes think I should just go home 
but I'm dealing 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 
and I drunk myself blind to the 
sound of old T-Rex 
To the sound of old T-Rex - who's next? 

Chorus
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 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 
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs 
I don't really mind how much you love me 
A little is really alright 
When you say come over and spend the night 
Tonight 

Chorus
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 
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 sing 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

Chorus
