Better Man / Save It For Later [July 23, 2006] Lyrics

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o' clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over, pretends to sleep as he looks her over

She lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh...

Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...

Memories back when she was smooth and strong, and waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
And she swears he's cool

She lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Yeah...
See Pearl Jam Live
Get tickets as low as $90
She loved him, yeah...
She don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah...
That's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better...man...

Two dozen other dirty lovers
Must be a sucker for it
Don't need to cry my mother
Just let me come come to a decision on

Sooner or later you hit the deck you get found out
Save it for later don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later you hit the deck you get found out
Save it for later don't run away, don't run away and let me down

I know I've fucked up
I know We've fucked up
But please don't, dont' leave me now
Don't leave me now, don't run away,don't run away,don't run away,don't run away, run away...runawayrunawayrunaway
DONT'T LET ME DOWN!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
