It's Getting Better - Cass Elliot

I don't stop breathing every time the phone rings My heart don't race when someone's at my door I've almost given up thinkin' you're ever gonna call I don't believe in magic anymore I just don't lie awake at night Asking God would get you off my mind It's getting better all the time It's getting better all the time Yeah, I got to work on time again this morning This old job is all that I got to live And no one even noticed I'd been crying But at least I don't have whiskey on my breath Yeah, I think I'm gonna make it 'Cause God won't make a mountain I can't climb It's getting better all the time It's getting better all the time God, I hope you're happy Girl, I wish you well I just might get over you You can never tell, hmm I always thought that I'd do something crazy If I ever saw you out with someone else But when the moment came last night I couldn't say a word I stood there in the dark all by myself Yeah, I could've said a million things But all I did was keep it locked inside It's getting better all the time It's getting better all the time It's getting better all the time

It's getting better all the time I used to get mad at my school (Now I can't complain) The teachers who taught me weren't cool (Now I can't complain) Holding me down Turning me 'round Filling me up with your rules I've got to admit it's getting better (Better) A little better all the time (It can't get no worse) I have to admit it's getting better (Better) It's getting better, since you've been mine I used to be angry a man Me hiding me head in the sand You gave me the word, I finally heard I'm doing the best that I can I've got to admit it's getting better (Better) A little better all the time (It can't get no worse) I have to admit it's getting better (Better) It's getting better, since you've been mine Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time (Better, better, better) It's getting better all the time (Better, better, better) I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her And kept her apart from the things that she loved Man I was mean, but I'm changing my scene And I'm doing the best that I can I admit it's getting better (Better) A little better all the time (It can't get no worse) Yes, I admit it's getting better (Better) It's getting better since you've been mine Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time (Better, better, better) It's getting better all the time (Better, better, better) Getting so much better all the time

I walked by the river Where we said goodbye Thought of your kisses And didn't even cry I am gettin' better (gettin' better) I am gettin' better (gettin' better) I talked with an old friend He asked about you I managed to tell him With just a tear or two I am gettin' better (gettin' better) I am gettin' better (gettin' better) I know I'll never be the same I was standin' too close to the flame But it doesn't hurt so much To hear your name I think I'll make it I am gettin' better (gettin' better)

We started out and life was perfect I never thought our love would change But years of ups and downs made a difference It's not the same as it was yesterday I don't treat you like I used to You don't look the same into my eyes We thought the best would be behind us But the best keeps getting better all the time We learned how to love and how to make up And found what it takes to be enough Like a 30-year-old wine, hearts intertwined The best keeps getting better all the time I love you now more than ever And you appreciate me more today Melted together, hearts and minds The best keeps getting better all the time We learned how to love and how to make up And found what it takes to be enough Like a 30-year-old wine, hearts intertwined The best keeps getting better all the time Like a 30-year-old wine, hearts intertwined The best keeps getting better all the time The best keeps getting better all the time
