Lyrics to For Better Or Worse
For Better Or Worse Video:
At a quarter to midnight She stood on the bridge With her bags and her cat And a couple of kids Your food's on the table We've all gone to bed was the note that she'd pinned on the door In the eyes of the Lord it's considered a sin But it's fifty times better than dealing with him If it wasn't for these two I'd do myself in Why he's already written me off When she was eighteen She was cover-girl cute Just look at her now You can tell she's been through it She says give her the gun And the courage to shoot In the blink of an eye he'll be gone And it's oh, oh for better or worse Come on and lay by my side Oh, oh for better or worse Did he give you a hell of a ride It all happened too fast He was three times her size Standing right by the bed When she opened her eyes She just thought of the children And tried not to cry out But she felt like a rat in a cage In the heat of the moment She wanted to fight Only changing her mind When he showed her the knife The he spit in her face And he cut her for spite Adding insult to injury She swore to herself She'd get him somehow As she turned every handle The law would allow Her old man said leave it Forget him right now She just left and forgot him instead She said I'm just like you, babe I take and I give As the light through her dress Fell like sand through a sieve In the end who decides what we finish up with She said, tenderly stroking my hand
