You can walk my path, you can wear my shoes
Learn to talk like me and be an angel too
But maybe you ain't never gonna feel this way
You ain't never gonna know me but I know you.

I'm singing it now, things can only get better
They can only get better if we see it through
That means me and I mean you too.

So teach me now that things can only get better
They can only get, they only get, take it on from here
You know, I know that things can only get better.

I sometimes lose myself in me, I lose track of time
And I can't see the woods for the trees, you set them alight
Burn the bridges as you've gone, I'm too weak to fight ya
I've got my personal hell to deal with.

And then you say
"Walk my path, wear my shoes
Talk like that, I'll be an angel".

And things can only get better
They can only get better now I found you
(Things can only get, can only get)
Things can only get better
They can only get better now I found you and you and you.

You have shown me prejudice and greed
And you've shown me how I must learn to deal with this disease
I look at things now in a different light than I did before
And I've found the cause and I think that you can be my cure.

So teach me to walk your path, wear your shoes
Talk like that, I'll be an angel.

And things can only get better
They can only get better now I found you
(Things can only get, can only get)
Things can only get better
They can only get better now I found you.

Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, things can only get
Things can only get.

Things can only get better
They can only get better now I found you
(Things can only get, can only get)
And you and you and you baby
Things can only get better
They can only get better now I found you.
