It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school(well I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool (well I can't complain)
You're holding me down, (ah) turning me round (ah)
Filling me up with your rules

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)
A little better all the time (it can't get more worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better since you've been mine

Me used to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best I can

I've got to admit it's getting better (better)
A little better all the time (it can't get more 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 chancing 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 more 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
