Better to Know - Chris Murray

wealthy man him still a get rich

while the poor man sleep inna de ditch

brother can you spare a wish

there’s nothing in my dish

every man is dealt a card

him bound fe play it

could be easy and it could be hard

you just haffe face it as it come

before you know it man you’re life begun

before you love it man it almost gone

never hear a starting gun

but the end must surely come

try and live a good life

cos it’s a thing that you can’t do twice

better to know, better to know it

better to know, better to know it

better to know

what can you show for your time

except that you’ve given up trying

to waste such a gift divine

is a serious crime

every man is dealt a card

him bound fe play it

could be easy and it could be hard

you just haffe face it, you no hear it

before you know it man you’re life begun

before you love it man it almost gone

never hear a starting gun

but the end must surely come

try and live a good life

cos it’s a thing that you can’t do twice

better to know, better to know it

better to know, better to know it

better to know, better to know it

better to know, better to know it

better to know
