If time itself was his demeanor There'd be no sunlight or a glimmer Of sunlight landin' on the street Some say girls must be discreet Some say girls must be discreet Nursing their fathers locked inside They masqueraded as his bride I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together But there's somethin' In your eyes that says Maybe that's never Never say never They slump by the courthouse with windburn skin That man could give a f*ck About the grin on your face As you walk by, randy as a goat He's sleepin' on papers But he'd be warm in your coat I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together But there's somethin' In your eyes that says Maybe that's never Never say never There's no easy way to lose your sight On the street, on the stairs Who's on your flight Old couple walks by, as ugly as sin But he's got her, she's got him I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together But there's somethin' In your eyes that says Maybe that's never Never say never I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together I might like you better If we slept together
