Better Now Than Later
If we have to say goodbye
Better now than later
A love like this can only die
Better now than later
You're too young for me, I know
I'll only have to let you go
Darling, better now than later
If I must stop holding you like this
Better now than later
Take away those tempting lips
Better now than later
I'd rather stop before we start
Before we break each other's heart
Darling, better now than later
(Orchestral Break)
But if you insist I do
I'll stay and make love to you
So much better now than later
Darling, better now than later
So much better now than later
Better now than later
A love like this can only die
Better now than later
You're too young for me, I know
I'll only have to let you go
Darling, better now than later
If I must stop holding you like this
Better now than later
Take away those tempting lips
Better now than later
I'd rather stop before we start
Before we break each other's heart
Darling, better now than later
(Orchestral Break)
But if you insist I do
I'll stay and make love to you
So much better now than later
Darling, better now than later
So much better now than later
