Better Than It Used to Be
Love's Symphony: A Melody of Joy Beyond Whiskey and Paydays
Lyrics
Now it ain't like me to talk about the way my woman makes me feel
Expressing hesitance in discussing feelings about his woman.
But since you asked and I've got a minute well gentlemen here's the deal
Responding to a query, willing to share his thoughts.
If I told it's as good as this or that you might misunderstand
Fear of misinterpretation if he exaggerates the greatness.
So let me give you all a little idea of what's it's better than
Intending to provide an accurate description of his feelings.
It's better than whiskey when you're cold
His woman's love is better than whiskey in tough times.
Better than your favorite song on the radio
Comparing love favorably to a favorite song on the radio.
Better than a feather bed when you've been loving all night
Expressing the comfort of love, likened to a feather bed after a night of passion.
And you've got to get some rest
Highlighting the need for rest after a night of love.
Better than punching out on payday
Love is better than the satisfaction of payday after work.
And cruise control down the highway
Comparing the consistency of love to cruise control on the highway.
It's a whole lot better than it used to be
Declaring that the current state of love is significantly improved.
And it used to be the best
Reflecting on the past when love was already considered the best.
Now I've seen love that started to fade soon after that first kiss
Contrasting with relationships where love fades after the initial excitement.
But let me make it clear right now that ain't the case with this
Emphasizing that this love is different and enduring.
It started out good, started getting better it never has slowed down
Love has continually improved without slowing down.
And it's better than a bunch of you buying me another round
Preferable to the companionship of others buying drinks.
It's better than whiskey when you're cold
Reiterating that love is superior to whiskey in difficult times.
Better than your favorite song on the radio
Comparing love to the joy of hearing a favorite song on the radio.
Better than a feather bed when you've been loving all night
Expressing the comfort of love, similar to a feather bed after passion.
And you've got to get some rest
Reiterating the need for rest after a night of love.
Better than punching out on payday
Love surpasses the satisfaction of payday after work.
And cruise control down the highway
Consistency of love compared to cruise control on the highway.
It's a whole lot better than it used to be
Declaring that the current state of love is significantly improved.
And it used to be the best
Reflecting on the past when love was already considered the best.
Lordy, Lord I love that woman of mine
Expressing deep affection for his woman.
And what we've got has got to be one hundred times better than
Asserting that their love is exceptionally better than anything else.
It's better than whiskey when you're cold
Reiterating that love is superior to whiskey in tough times.
Better than your favorite song on the radio
Comparing love to the joy of hearing a favorite song on the radio.
Better than a feather bed when you've been loving all night
Expressing the comfort of love, similar to a feather bed after passion.
And you've got to get some rest
Reiterating the need for rest after a night of love.
Better than punching out on payday
Love surpasses the satisfaction of payday after work.
And cruise control down the highway
Consistency of love compared to cruise control on the highway.
It's a whole lot better than it used to be
Declaring that the current state of love is significantly improved.
And it used to be the best
Reflecting on the past when love was already considered the best.
Yeah, it's a whole lot better than it used to be
Affirming that the current state of love is markedly better than before.
And it used to be the best
Reflecting on the past when love was already considered the best.
