better things to do

don't tell me the reason that you're calling

is to see if i'm all right since you've been gone

'cause i know you and i know why we're talking

you're wanting me to say i'm barely hanging on

well

maybe that was true for a night or two

but now

i got better things to do

i could wash my car in the rain

change my new guitar strings

mow the yard just the same as i did yesterday

i don't need to waste my time crying over you

i got better things to do

maybe when i don't have so much going

or quite so many irons in the fire

i'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping

but now

i can't put forth the effort it requires

well

i'd love to talk to you

but then

i'd miss donahue

that's right

i got better things to do

check the air in my tires

straighten my stereo wires

count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life

i don't need to waste my time crying over you

i got better things to do

i got better things to do
