there must be a better world somewhere

sometimes

i wonder just what i am fighting for

i win some battles but i always lose the war

i keep right on stumblin' in this no man's land out there

but i know

yes

i know that there must be a better world somewhere

flying high

some joker clips my wings

just 'cause he gets his kicks and he's doing those kind of things

keep on fallin' into space

either hangin' in mid-air

but i know

yes

i know that there must be a better world somewhere

every woman i want only wants herself

everybody i love

loves somebody else

yeah

every woman got a license to break my heart

and every love affair is over

before it gets a chance to start

if it ain't here

maybe in the year after

instead of tears

i'll learn all about laughter

meanwhile

i'm stuck out here

lord knows it just ain't fair

but i know

yes

i know that there must be a better world somewhere

every woman i want only wants herself

everybody i love

loves somebody else

every woman i know got a license to break my heart

and every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start

if it ain't here

maybe in the year after

instead of tears

i'll learn all about laughter

meanwhile

i'm stuck out here

lord knows it just ain't fair

but i know

yes

i know

hey

i know

that there must be a better world

there sure gotta be a better world

lord

now there must be a better world somewhere
