Joan Armatrading - Better Life lyrics
Artist: Joan Armatrading
album: Consequences
All you want for everyone
Is a better life, a better life
All you want from love
Is the best love, the best love
And all you want from me
Is what I have to give
Just being who you are
Means a better life, a better life
Some people sit in their ivory tower
With the Midas touch, the Midas touch
A kind word has more healing power
It's precious, more precious
Look inside yourself
Make your thoughts the best
All you have to be
Is a love junkie, love junkie
Change can heal the world
And all you gotta do is change yourself
There are rules for a better life
Don't live with hate, live positive
Smile a lot and the world looks good (Smile a lot)
Your happy face looks right back at you
Don't compare yourself
To everybody else
Live the life you love
For a better life, a better life
Change can heal the world
And all you gotta do is change yourself
Memories can last forever
Remember how short a life is
Plan how you will enjoy it
Be happy, be happy
Look inside yourself
Make your thoughts the best
All you have to be
Is a love junkie, love junkie
Don't compare yourself
To everybody else
Live the life you love
For a better life, a better life
Look inside yourself
Make your thoughts the best
Just being who you are
Means a better life, a better life
Don't compare yourself
To everybody else
Live the life you love
For a better life, a better life
Is a better life, a better life
All you want from love
Is the best love, the best love
And all you want from me
Is what I have to give
Just being who you are
Means a better life, a better life
Some people sit in their ivory tower
With the Midas touch, the Midas touch
A kind word has more healing power
It's precious, more precious
Look inside yourself
Make your thoughts the best
All you have to be
Is a love junkie, love junkie
Change can heal the world
And all you gotta do is change yourself
There are rules for a better life
Don't live with hate, live positive
Smile a lot and the world looks good (Smile a lot)
Your happy face looks right back at you
Don't compare yourself
To everybody else
Live the life you love
For a better life, a better life
Change can heal the world
And all you gotta do is change yourself
Memories can last forever
Remember how short a life is
Plan how you will enjoy it
Be happy, be happy
Look inside yourself
Make your thoughts the best
All you have to be
Is a love junkie, love junkie
Don't compare yourself
To everybody else
Live the life you love
For a better life, a better life
Look inside yourself
Make your thoughts the best
Just being who you are
Means a better life, a better life
Don't compare yourself
To everybody else
Live the life you love
For a better life, a better life
