I look around here and I want to cry.
I feel like the world is passing me by,
And I just can't help but wonder, am I doomed to wash and dry?
And is it some curse I'm under to do it 'till I die?
(Well I hope not. Yeah.)
When I could be an explorer (sure ya could), sailing off to distant lands (wait, not so fast),
Instead of spending every afternoon just getting dishpan hands.
My future looks like nowhere that I want to be.
There's gotta be something better, something better,
There's gotta be something better than this for me.
(Well, now you're talking.)
If it's weird and wild lets go and find it (haha, haha!)
The crazier the better is what I say!
(Yeah, that's true.)
To tell the truth, I really wouldn't mind it (mind what?)
If we found someplace with ten square meals a day!
Let danger call my name!
If it does, I'm gonna hide!
I'll put my courage to the test,
And I'll be by your side (he'll be by your side)
There's gotta be something better than this
(Somthing more than this...)
I know that there's so much out there to see
(...To see)
And I know this life I'm living can't be my destiny (nee)
There's gotta be something better, something better,
There's gotta be something better than this for me,
And me,
Wait a minute, what about me?
There's something better than this for you and me.
