I think it be better now

if we don’t mess around

I think it be different

how were living

situations changing now

I think it be better

doubt it last forever now

if we get together you ain't gotta wonder how

I think that you let up

apply a little pressure now

get your thing together

and maybe you can

I think it’d be better now

IF I DON’T MESS AROUND

I think it’d be different

NOW we’re living

situations changing now

YOU think it’d be better

if we stay together now

but ain’t no time to mess around

ain't no time to wonder how

it might not be better

it won’t last forever now

since we aint together

you don’t gotta wonder how

I think that you let up

applying little EFFORT now

get your shit together

and maybe YOU can hang around
