Dr. John
There Must Be A Better World Somewhere
Sometimes I wonder
Just what am I fighting for?
Oh, I win some battles
But I always, always lose the war

I keep right on stumblin'
In this no-man’s land out here
But I know
Oh yes, I know
There must be a better world
Must be a better world somewhere

Flying high
Some joker clips my wings
Just because he gets a kick
Out of doing those kind of things
I keep on fallin' in space
Or just hangin' in mid-air
I know
Ohh yes, I know
There’s just got to be a better world somewhere
Out there

Every woman I want
Seems like she only wants herself
And everybody I love
They are seem to love somebody else
And every woman
Got a license to break my heart
And every love affair it's over
It's over
Over before it gets a chance to start
If it ain't dead
Maybe in the year after
Instead of tears
I'll learn all about laughter
But meanwhile
But meanwhile I'm stuck out here
It just ain't fair, but I know
Oh yes
Yes, I know
There must be a better world
Better world
Better world somewhere

Every man I want
Only wants himself
Everybody I love
Seems to love somebody else
Every man is got a license
A license to break my heart
And every love affair is over
It's over before it gets a chance to start

If it ain’t here
Maybe in the here after
Instead of tears
I’ll learn all about laughter
But meanwhile
Meanwhile I'm stuck out here
I’m stuck out here
It just ain't fair, but I know
I said I know, oh yes I know
There must be a better world somewhere
Somewhere
There's just gotta be
There's gotta be
Gotta be a better world somewhere
Somewhere out there
