Lyrics
Original Source:LyricWiki
I...who took the money?
Who took the money away?
I...it's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
O-U-T but no hard feelings
What do you know? Take you away
We're being taken for a ride again

I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's moving up, going right through my heart
She's gonna give me surprise
I think it's right, better than this
I think you can if you like
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that

Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
I...I'm driving in circles
Come to my senses sometime
Why, why, why? Why start it over?
Nothing was lost, everything's free
I don't care how impossible it seems

Somebody calls you, but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, I'll bet it's right
All it takes, if it's right
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She goes wherever she likes
(There she goes)

I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Now everybody's getting involved
She's moving up, going right through my heart
We might not never get caught
Going right through, try to stay cool
Goin' through, stayin' cool
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Nothing is better than you

I got a girlfriend that's better than this
But you don't remember at all
As we get older and stop making sense
You won't find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense
Stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend, she's better than that
And nothing is better than this
(Is it?)
