    This is definitely the best karaoke cover I’ve heard of this song. With all the other recordings of it the piano sounds so synthetic. Thank you so much for doing this!! 😁😁😁

    thanks soo much. i only had the accompaniment with the vocal notes, so this helped me so much. i really woulda been screwed for my voice juries if i hadn't been able to use yours to practice singing with. thanks!

    I'm using a segment of this song for an audition, and using your recording so I could practice singing with the accompaniment was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!

    I just want to thank you for this recording. I am working on this song for an audition and I cant play the piano, Its been invaluable!! The original song doesnt help either because Sherie Renee Scott doesnt really stick to the tempo, but thanks so much

    My best friend had a little situation
    At the end of our senior year
    And like a shot, she and Mitchell got married that summer
    Carolann getting bigger every minute
    Thinking, "What am I doing here?"
    While Mitchell's out every night
    Being a heavy-metal drummer
    They got a little cute house on a little cute street
    With a crucifix on the door
    Mitchell got a job at the record store in the mall
    Just the typical facts of a typical life in a town on the Eastern Shore
    I thought about what I wanted
    It wasn't like that at all
    Made Carolann a cute baby sweater
    Thinking "I can do better than that"
    In a year or so, I moved to the city
    Thinking "What have I got to lose?"
    Got a room, got a cat, and got twenty pounds thinner
    Met a guy in a class I was taking who you might say
    Looked like Tom Cruise
    He wouldn't leave me alone 'less I went with him to dinner
    And I guess he was cute
    And I guess he was sweet
    ANd I guess he was good in bed
    I gave up my life for a better part of a year
    And so I'm starting to think that this maybe might work
    And the second it entered my head
    He needed to take some time off
    Focus on his "career"
    He blew me off with a heartfelt letter
    I thought "I can do better than that"
    You don't have to get a haircute
    You don't have to change your shoes
    You don't have to like Duran Duran
    Just love me
    You don't have to put the seat down
    You don't have to watch the news
    You dont' have to learn to tango
    You don't have to eat prosciutto
    You don't have to change a thing
    Just stay with me
    I want you and you and nothing but you
    Miles and piles of you
    Finally I'll have something worthwhile
    To think about each morning
    You and you and nothing but you
    No substitution will do
    Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
    Top of the line and totally mine!
    I don't need any lifetime commitments
    I don't need to get hitched tonight
    I don't want to throw up your walls and defenses
    I don't mean to put on any pressure
    But I know what a thing is right
    And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense
    When we get to my house, take a look at that town
    Take a look at how far I've gone
    I will never go back
    Never look back anymoure
    And it feels like my life led right to your side
    And will keep me there from now on
    Think about what you wanted
    Think about what could be
    THink about how I love you
    Say you'll move in with me
    Think of what's great about me and you
    Think of the bullsh*t we've both been through
    Think of what's past because we can do better!
    We can do better!
    We can do better than that!
    We can do better than that!
