Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You can bring joy
I never had
I'm going to be right together
Things that i'm near, that's why
[Chorus]
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you, girl
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you
[Verse 2]
I can be lonely
You can be fine
I'm not lonely baby
All that's around, that's why
[Chorus]
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you, girl
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you
[Chorus]
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you, girl
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you
[Verse 3]
Never in love
So that you love
I can't lose you, baby
Stay on my mind, that's why
[Chorus]
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you, girl
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you, girl
Things get better, baby
When i'm with you, girl
Things get better, baby...
