Elkie Brooks - Got to Get Better lyrics

Everyone you talk to all say the same You take one step forward, two steps back again My best friend told me when I saw her yesterday There has to be a changing, I can't go on this way She's losing control and she's got no place to go I wanna help her desperately but all I can say is It's got to get better Can't get any worse Got to get better Can't get any worse My family depend on me, I don't intend to let them down I ain't gonna let them see me cry 'cause a few hard times we found My mother told me before she pa**ed away Something's bound to turn up, hear the words I say It's hard to keep a smiling face when they're knocking at your door I turn around and I'm thankful, one thing that's for sure that It's got to get better Can't get any worse Got to get better Can't get any worse Don't let it get you down Don't let it get you down Living on a knife edge, the rent is due today The bank man's on your tail again, you can't afford to pay I sympathise, I've been there, my heart goes out to you It all seems so unfair to me, you don't get your fair due Nothing is easy but the more you seem to try We're all in it together and none of us can hide It's got to get better Can't get any worse Got to get better Can't get any worse Don't let it get you down Don't let it get you down Got to get better Can't get any worse Got to get better It can't get any worse Got to get better It can't get any worse Got to get better Can't get any worse Don't let it get you down (Time for a brandy)
