Life Is Good, Love Is Better

(Album: They Don't Make Them Like They Used To - 1986)

Life is a hustle, every day struggle
Pushing your way at the top
Gotta keep it on track and never look back
And no, you don't dare stop.

There's someone behind you keeping an eye on you
Hoping you take a fall, a lady, she's liked to see me more
But I can't slow down at all.

She says: wow, I need some time alone
I say: no, we gotta keep pushing on
She said: life is good, love is better

My daddy, he always preached to me
You gotta reach for the sky
Make rain while the sun is shining
Boy, don't let it pass you by

Money and power is in your hand
You can do what you wanna be
Oh, my baby, she's got a different philosophy.

She says: wow, I need some time alone
I say: no, we gotta keep pushing on
She said: life is good, love is better

Now I know my sweet lady must be heaven sent
I just cover the meaning of what she meant
I've been working so hard for the good life but I headed all the while
I've found my hiding treasure, baby, right there in this smile.

I say: wow, seems we've spent time alone
I say: wow, how our love has grown
She was right all alone

I say: life is good, love is better
