Getting Better

Release date: 01 June 1967

It's getting better all the time.

I used to get mad at my school,
The teachers that taught me weren't cool.
You're holding me down,
Turning me 'round,
Filling me up with your rules.

I've got to admit, it's getting better,
A little better all the time.
I have to admit, it's getting 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
You're doing the best that I can.

I got to admit, it's getting better,
A little better all the time.
I have to admit, it's getting 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, a little better all the time.
Yes, I admit, it's getting 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.
