You better, you better, you bet   You better, you better, you bet   You better, you better, you bet   You better, you better, you bet      I call you on the telephone   My voice too rough with cigarettes   I sometimes feel I should just go home   But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets      I love to hear you say my name   Especially when you say yes   I got your body right now on my mind   But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex   To the sound of old T-Rex, oh and who's next      When I say I love you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)   When I say I need you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)      You better bet your life   Or love will cut you   (Love)   Cut you like a knife      I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown   I'm not into your passport picture, I just like your nose   You welcome me with open arms and open legs   I know only fools have needs, but this one never begs      I don't really mind how much you love me   Ooh, a little is alright   When you say come over and spend the night   Tonight, tonight      When I say I love you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)   When I say I need you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)      You better bet your life   Or love will cut you   (Love)   Cut you like a knife      I lay on the bed with you   We could make some book of records   Your dog keeps licking my nose   And chewing up all those letters      Saying you better   You better bet your life      You better love me, all the time now   You better shove me back into line now   You better love me, all the time now   You better shove me back into line now      I showed up late one night   With a neon light for a visa   But knowing I'm so eager to fight   Can't make letting me in any easier      I know, I've been wearing crazy clothes   And I look pretty crappy sometime   But my body feels so good   And I still sing a razor line every time      And when it comes to all night living   I know what I'm giving   I've got it all down to a tee   And it's free      When I say I love you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)   When I say I need you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)      When I say I love you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)   When I say I need you, you scream you better   (You better, you better, you bet)      When I say I love you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)   When I say I need you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)      When I say I love you, you say you better   (You better, you better, you bet)   When I say I need you, you scream you better   (You better, you better, you bet)      You better bet your life   Or love will cut you just like a knife
