Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before
And youd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me

And youd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
Youd better run
