I'm Getting Better

(album: Their First LP - 1965)

I never cried today
I even smile today
When I heard someone say
That you had gone this way
I guess you have to say I'm getting better

Then I heard our old song (oh oh oh oh)
The pain wasn't quite so strong (oh oh oh oh)
Maybe it won't be long
Till all my hurt is gone
But I know I'll get on, I'm getting better

I know I broke my promise to you
I said I'll never get over you
But a man can't spend all of his life
Drowning with a heartache and live it with strife

For the first time since I met you (oh oh oh oh)
I look at someone new (oh oh oh oh)
Baby she won't get through
But darling neither will you
That no longer makes me blue, I'm getting better
