I used to get mad at my school
   The teachers that taught me weren't cool
   Holding me down, and turning me round
   Filling me up with your rules
  
   Got to admit it's getting better
   It's getting better all the time
   Have to admit it's getting better
   It's getting better, since you'll be mine
  
   I used to be angry young man
   Me hiding me head in the sand
   You gave me the word, I finally heard
   I'm doing the best that I can
  
   Got to admit it's getting better
   It's getting better all the time
   Have to admit it's getting better
   It's getting better, since you'll be mine
   Getting so much better all the time
  
   It's getting better all the time, better, better, better
   It's getting better all the time, better, better, better
  
   I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her
   And kept her apart from the things that she loved
   Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
   And I'm doing the best that I can
  
   Got to admit it's getting better
   It's getting better all the time
   Have to admit it's getting better
   It's getting better, since you'll be mine
   Getting so much better all the time
