You had us all fooled for a little while

With your silly little crooked LA smile

She caught on just a little too late

You had practically moved in by the second date

(But who could really blame ya)



Everybody's guilty of that kind of thing sometimes

Maybe you'll be smarter if you get a second try



It could be worse, could be better

We could hold ya to the letter, we could keep ya to your word

Could be worse, could be better

Yeah ya thought you could forget her

For what its worth, take my word

It could be worse!



But I guess you thought you had it all figured out,

Oh but you underestimated the power of doubt

And when I got my chance I didn't hold back

I told her what I thought of your little escapades and then I helped her pack

(But who could really blame me)



Everybody's guilty of that kind of thing sometimes

It could be worse - could be better,

We could hold you to the letter, we could keep you to your word.

Could be worse - could be better.

Yeah, you thought you could forget her,

For what its worth - take my word, Oh it could be worse.

[Alright]



Everybodies guilty of that kind of thing sometime.

But looking at my baby, man I'd do it every time...



It could be worse, could be better

We could hold ya to the letter, we could keep ya to your word

Could be worse, could be better

Yeah ya thought you could forget her

For what its worth, take my word

It could be worse!



Could be worse, it could be better.

We could hold you to the letter... *fades out*
