Gnarls Barkley - A Little Better lyrics

[Cee-Lo]

Now I can sing you the storyline

And if you like my story fine

But ain't none of the glory mine

See my life was a lonely one

And I was still momma's only son

With no idea what I'm gon' become

And I didn't have long to know

That you don't have to be grown to go

I could have died so long befo'

Then I finally saw the sign

And I made it on down the line

One step at a time

[Chorus]

I feel better!

I can smile at it now, I feel better

Ohhhh, better!

And even a little is still better

Oh, have mercy on me

[Cee-Lo]

Ohhh it's probably plain to see

That I got a whole lot of pain in me

And it will always remain in me

So cold, it's a cryin shame

Yet here I am, tryin again

Cause I refuse to die in vain

The circumstances put soul in me

And there ain't no holdin me

I've got a heart made of gold in me

Hah, can you believe this is where I've been?

And when adversity comes again

I'll deal with it then

[Chorus]

I feel better!

I can laugh at it now, I feel better, heh heh

Ohhhh, better!

And even a little is still better

Oh, have mercy on me-heeeeeeee

[Cee-Lo]

Ah-ahhh-hahhh-ah yeahhh

Mmmmmmmmmm, ohhhhhhh-oh-ohhhh!

I said everything's fine, you can take your time

What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dyin

I would wanna just feel this ah-one more time

I said everything's fine, take yo' time

What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dyin

I would wanna just feel this ah-one more time

I wanna thank you morning sun

I wanna thank you lowly dirt

Now I know I'm not the only one

I, I wanna thank you friendly ghost

When all the calls were close

It seems like you cared the most

I, I wanna thank you Mom and Dad

For hurtin me so bad

But you're the best I ever had

I, I wanna thank you... [fades]
