Dr. John - There Must Be A Better World Somewhere lyrics

Sometimes, I wonder just what I am fighting for I win some battles but I always lose the war I keep right on stumblin' in this no man's land out there But I know, yes, I know that there must be a better world somewhere Flying high, some joker clips my wings Just 'cause he gets his kicks and he's doing those kind of things Keep on fallin' into space, either hangin' in mid-air But I know, yes, I know that there must be a better world somewhere Every woman I want only wants herself Everybody I love, loves somebody else Yeah, every woman got a license to break my heart And every love affair is over, before it gets a chance to start If it ain't here, maybe in the year after Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter Meanwhile, I'm stuck out here, Lord knows it just ain't fair But I know, yes, I know that there must be a better world somewhere Every woman I want only wants herself Everybody I love, loves somebody else Every woman I know got a license to break my heart And every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start If it ain't here, maybe in the year after Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter Meanwhile, I'm stuck out here, Lord knows it just ain't fair But I know, yes, I know, hey, I know That there must be a better world, there sure gotta be a better world Lord, now there must be a better world somewhere
