Lyrics:
Waiting, watching the clock, it's 4 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 colour she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man .. Ohh ..
Talking to herself there's no one else who needs to know
She tell herself, ohh ..
Memories, back when she was smooth and strong and waited for
The world to come along, swears she knew it now she swears he's gone
(Chorus)
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 ...
