All of this time I planned I'd be patient and
You would love me again
You'd come to respect my mind and at last you'd find
You could love me again

And I have turned my whole world upside down
Trying not to let you go
Watching you walk away is like a fatal blow

Whoa! Is that my name up on that list?
Does someone know that I exist?
Is this a mistake? Am I even awake?
Pinch me now to make sure

Ow! Yes, that's my name in black and white
Maybe I'm doing something right
Wow! I feel so much better than before

Warner, sorry I've been a pest
But I guess my best was not working with you
But looks like I've found a cure
And I so look forward to working with you
What? Working with who?

Hey, remember when we spent spring break
In the hot tub every night
We said nothing else could ever feel so right
Well, this might!

Seeing my name up on that list
That beats the first time that we kissed
You thought I was dumb
But I think that somebody's judgment was poor

Seeing my name in black and white
It's like making love with you all night
No wait, it feel so much better, hello, much better
It's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, much better
'Cause I am so much better than before

Yes, she's so much better than before
Yes, she's so much better than before

Maybe she's what you prefer
But hey, last year I was her
Maybe you will change your mind
But you might look up to find

I've gone on to better things
Better jobs or bigger rings
I don't have the time to cry

I'm too busy loving my name up on that list
Kind of a cool, ironic twist
Who else can I tell? Hoo! Wait, where's my cell?
Mom will fall on the floor

Hey mom!
Look at my name in black and white
Your daughter's doing something right
I feel so much better

I'll be there on Monday, 9 o'clock
And we will see who walks the walk
No, no, I can't wait, I will be there at 8
When they unlock the door

Oh, oh! I'll even dress in black and white
See, I have not begun to fight
And you'll go, oh, much better and oh, much better
And soon all y'all gotta know much better

I am so much better
I am so much better
I am so much better than before!
