Karaoké I Can Do Better Than That The Last Five Years (film) (Anna Kendrick)

My best friend had a little situation at the end of our senior year

And like a shot she and Mitchell got married that summer

Carolann getting bigger every minute

Thinking What am I doing here

While Mitchell's out every night being a heavy-metal drummer

They got a little cute house on a little cute street with a crucifix on the door

Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall

Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore

I thought about what I wanted

It wasn't like that at all

Made Carolann a cute baby sweater thinking

I can do better than that

In a year or so

I moved to the city thinking

What have I got to lose

Got a room, got a cat and got twenty pounds thinner

Met a guy in a class

I was taking with some very well placed tattoos

He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner

And I guess he was cute

And I guess he was sweet

And I guess he was good in bed

I gave up my life for a better part of a year

So I'm starting to think that this maybe might work and the second it entered my head

He needed to take some time off

Focus on his career

He blew me off with a heartfelt letter

I thought I can do better than that

You don't have to get a haircut

You don't have to change your shoes

You don't have to like

Duran Duran

Just love me

You don't have to put the seat down

You don't have to watch the news

You don't have to learn to tango

You don't have to eat prosciutto

You don't have to change a thing

Just stay with me

I want you and you and nothing but you

Miles and piles of you

Finally I'll have something worthwhile to think of each morning

You and you and nothing but you

No substitution will do

Nothing but fresh

Undiluted and pure

Top of the line and totally mine

I don't need any lifetime commitments

I don't need to get hitched tonight

I don't want you to throw up all your walls and defenses

I don't mean to put on any pressure but I know when a thing is right

And I spend every day reconfiguring my senses

When we get to my house

Take a look at that town

Take a look at how far I've gone

I will never go back

Never look back anymore

And it feels like my life led right to your side and will keep me there from now on

Think about what you wanted

Think about what could be

Think about how I love you

Say you'll move in with me

Think of what's great about me and you

Think of the bullshit we've both been through

Think of what's past because we can do better

We can do better

We can do better than that

We can do better than that
