So Much Better (to the best of my knowledge)
All of this time I felt
I’d be patient and he would love me again
He’d come to respect my mind
And at last he’d find you could love me again
And I have turned my whole world upside down
Trying not to let you go
Watching you walk away is like a fatal blow
Wait! Woah!
Is that my name up on that list?
Does someone know that I exist?
Am I awake? Is this a mistake?
Look again just to be sure.
Yes! That is my name in black and white
I must be doing something right
Wow I feel so much better
Hello, much better
One look at me, you’d go, Woah! Much better!
Cause I am so much better than before
Warner! Sorry I’ve been a pest
But it seems my best
Was not working with you
But looks like I found a cure
And I so look forward to working with you
Hey, remember when we spent spring break
In the hot tub every night?
We said nothing else could ever feel so right
Well this might!
Seeing my name up on that list
That beats the first time that we kissed
Behind you was hiding
The whole world outside
And I’ve opened the door
Look at that name in black and white
It’s like making love with you all night
No way! It feels so much better
Hello, much better
It’s so-oh-oh-oh-OH! Much better!
Cause I am so much better than before
I am so much better than before
I am so much better than before
Maybe now she’s got the ring
Lots of things could change by spring
Maybe I’ll get one more shot
I’d say yes, and I might not
Maybe I’m a bigger threat
Maybe you’re a better bet
Better start agreein’ (What?)
Maybe you’re not seein’
My name up on that list
Sure beats the first time that we kissed
Throw me out on the street
I’ll get back on my feet
I’m completely hardcore
I’ve got my name in black and white
And I have not begun to fight
But I feel so much better
Hello, much better
Come on, let’s go,
I can go much better
Cause I am so much better
I’ve dreamed of your name next to my own
But mine’s looking fine up there alone
Oh wait, where’s my phone?
Mom’s got to be shown
She will fall on the floor (Hey mom!)
Look at my name in black and white
Your daughter's doin’ something right
And it feels so much better
Hello, much better
I know how far I can go, much better
Cause I am so much better
I am so much better
Cause I am so much better
I am so much better
Than before!
ETA: Now that I've written down the lyrics, I love how true they are to the situation from both the film and the show. "I’ve dreamed of your name next to my own/ But mine’s looking fine up there alone" and "Seeing my name up on that list/ That beats the first time that we kissed" aren't the most clever lyrics, but they're so true to the film and what needs to be done in that scene. I love it.
