Getting Better

The Beatles

It's getting better all the time

I used to get mad at my school (no I can't complain)

The teachers that taught me weren't cool (no I can't complain)

You're holding me down (aah)

Turning me round (ooh)

Filling me up with your rules (full, full)

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)

A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)

I have to admit it's getting better (better)

It's getting better since you've been mine

Me used to be angry young man

Me hiding me head in the sand

You gave me the word I finally heard

Me doing the best that I can

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)

A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)

I have to admit it's getting better (better)

It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)

It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)

I used to be cruel to my woman

I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved

Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene

And I'm doing the best that I can

I admit it's getting better (better)

A little better all the time (it can't get no worse)

Yes I admit it's getting better (better)

It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)

It's getting better all the time (better, better, better)

Getting so much better all the time
