(from "Funny Lady" soundtrack)
I loved a man
Truly I did
When he would touch me I'd act like a love-hungry kid
Isn't this better?
Somebody nice, somebody new
Someone who lets me react as I normally do
Isn't this better, better?
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passion's design seems never to last
Better a match, better a blend
Who needs a lover? I need a friend
Now, I am calm, safe and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better?
The way it should be
Better for him
And, oh, so much better for me
Isn't this better, better?
Passion is fine but passion burns fast
Passion's design seems never to last
Better a match, better a blend
Who needs a lover? I need a friend
Now, I am calm, safe and serene
Heartache and hurt are no longer a part of the scene
Isn't this better?
The way it should be
Better for him
Much better for him
And, oh, so much better for me
