lyrics
She said I’m better in the first place.
'Cause I don't stand in one place.
But I’m staying right here in first place.
I'm a ten in your one place.
You can't get to first base.
You're running a cursed race.
Even if we reversed place, I'd win in the worst case.
'Cause I'm
C H O R U S
Better than you in all ways.
Better than you will ever know.
Better in her eyes too.
That’s what she said. (That's what she said.)
Better in every single way, but who's counting?
So good, in fact, that you can have her
I’m a better lover,
And I’m a better driver
I’m a better manufacturer
'Cause I’ve built a better mousetrap
Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah. Etc.
Way back from the word go,
you got the no go.
No two bills, no pass go.
You don't know when to go go.
Way back, from the beginning
till beyond the last inning,
your head is spinning
from how i keep winning.
And when i get tired of watching you iose,
I'll give her back to you.
But don’t get your hopes up.
I doubt that she'll think you’re worth sticking around.
'Cause I'm
CHORUS
L A S T C H O R U S
Better than you in all ways.
Better than you will ever know or understand.
Better in her eyes too.
That’s what she said. (That‘s what she said.)
Better in every single way, but who’s counting?
Better than her too, so you keep her.
You stand, a dope,
On your strand of rope.
So abandon hope for always.
'Cause I don't stand in one place.
But I’m staying right here in first place.
I'm a ten in your one place.
You can't get to first base.
You're running a cursed race.
Even if we reversed place, I'd win in the worst case.
'Cause I'm
C H O R U S
Better than you in all ways.
Better than you will ever know.
Better in her eyes too.
That’s what she said. (That's what she said.)

So good, in fact, that you can have her
I’m a better lover,
And I’m a better driver
I’m a better manufacturer
'Cause I’ve built a better mousetrap
Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah. Etc.
