Better Off (The Captain Planet Song) Songtext
von Ziggy Alberts

And these months went by so sweet
I met her down by the stream and she was pure
Like honeycomb on the fire, dew in the north
And she tugged on my sleeves asking, "Where you going?"
"I′ve been baking you cookies you can leave in the morning"
I, I want you around

But see I'm drawn to your flames like a moth to the fold
In these old pair of jeans unwashed in your wardrobe
I′m caught at the seams of who I'll become
Can be a man to the sea and the needs to your love


And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
We can say to other people
Look I'm better off with her
And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
We can say to other people
Look I′m better off with her

And I′m better off with her
I'm better off with her
And I′m better off with her
Don't let me down

And these months went by so sweet
We jumped overboard, company wherever I go
She said, "Let′s leave in the morning"
"Been knitting you a jumper for when it gets colder"
She puts my head in her hands, whenever I'm feeling low
Or if I feel like I′ve kept, too much from words that I chose
And there's rust on my frame, or was I sitting too close?
Is it salt in my palms or have I been here before?


And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
We can say to other people
Look I'm better off with her
And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
We can say to other people
Look I′m better off with her

And I′m better off with her
I'm better off with her
And I′m better off with her

But I'm no good for your daughter
′Til I've learned to breathe underwater
But she′s been coaxing me under, telling me how
She'll be holding my hands if I make it around
And I'm no good for your daughter
′Til I′ve learned to breathe underwater
But she's been coaxing me under telling me how
She′ll be holding my hands if make it around

If I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
We can say to other people
Look I'm better off with her
If I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
We can say to other people
Look I′m better off with her

If I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
And we can say to other people (no, no, no)
And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on out
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
And we can say to other people

I'm better off with her, oh oh
I′m better off with her
And I'm better off with her, oh oh
And I'm better off with her

And I′m better off with her, oh
And I′m better off with her
And I'm better off with her, ooh oh

I′m better off with her
I'm better off with her, oh love
Don′t let me down
