There Must Be A Better World Somewhere (With Dr.John) lyrics

Sometime I wonder, just what I'm prayin' for?
I win the battle but I always lose the war
I just keep right on stumblin' in this no-man land out there
But I know, yes I know
There must be a better world somewhere
Flyin' high, some joker clips my wings
Just because he gets a kick out of doing those kind of things
I keep on fallin' in space or just hangin' in mid-air
But I know, yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere
Everybody I know, only love themselves
Every woman I love, loves somebody else
Every woman got a license to break my heart
Every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start
Everybody I know, only love themselves
Every woman I love, loves somebody else
Every woman got a license to break my heart
Every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start
If it ain't here, maybe in a year after
Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter
Meanwhile I'm stuck right here, Lord knows it just ain't fair
But I know, yes I know
There must be a better world somewhere
I know, I know, yes
(I know)
There's gotta be a better world somewhere
(Better world somewhere)
I know, you know, they know
(I know, yes I do)
How come everybody else don't know?
There's got to be a better world
No, there's got to be a better world somewhere
