You can walk my path

you can wear my shoes

learn to talk like me

and be an angel too

But maybe

you ain't never

gonna feel this way

you ain't never

gonna know me

but I know you

I'm singin' it now

things can only get better

can only get better

if we see it through

that means me

and I mean you too

So teach me now that

things can only get better

they can only get

can only get

Take it on from here

you know, I know that

things can only get better

I... sometimes

lose myself in me

I lose track of time

and I can't see the

woods for the trees

You set 'em alight

burnin' bridges

as you've gone

I'm too weak to fight ya

I got my personal

hell to deal with

Then you say

walk my path

wear my shoes

talk like that

I'll be an angel then

Things can only get better

can only get better

now I've found you

that means me

will you teach me now

Things can only get better

can only get better

now I've found you

and you and you

You... have shown me

prejudice and greed

and you've shown me how

I must learn to deal

with this disease

I look at things now

in a different light

than I did before

and I found the cause

and I think that you

can be my cure

So teach me to

walk your path

wear your shoes

talk like that

I'll be an angel and

Things can only get better

can only get better

now I've found you

that means me

will you teach me now

Things can only get better

can only get better

now I've found you

Things can only get

things can only get better

can only get better

now I've found you

and you and you

come on baby now

Things can only get better

can only get better

now I've found you
