[Intro]

[Verse 1]
DGon't tell me the reason that you're callin'
Is to sCee if I'm all right since you been gGone,
Cause I Dknow you and I know why we're tGalkin';
You're wantin mCe to say I'm barely hangin' oDn.
Well, mCaybe that was tDrue,    fCor a night or tDwo,
But nFow, I've got bCetter things to Gdo.     ...I could:
[Chorus]
.C..Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar stGrings;
MoGw the yard just the same, as I did yeCsterday.
I don't Cneed to waste my tiGme, crying over yoDu;
      F...I've got beCtter things to Gdo.
[Verse 2]
GMaybe when I don't have so much goin'
Or qCuite so many irons in the fiGre,
I'll tDake the time to miss you like you're Ghoping,
But now I cCan't put forth the effort it reqDuires.
I'd lCove to talk to yDou,    but then IC'd miss DonahDue.
That's rFight, I've got bCetter things to dGo.      ...I could:
[Chorus]
...WCash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strinGgs;
Mow the Gyard just the same, as I did yesterCday.
I don't Cneed to waste my tGime, crying over yDou;
F...I've got bCetter things to...
dCo.  Check the air Cin my tires, straighten my stereo wireGs,
CoGunt the stars in the sky or just get on with my liCfe
I Cdon't need to waste my tGime, crying over yDou;
F...I've got bCetter things to Gdo.
F...I've got bCetter things to dGo.
