If I were you, I bet it's true, a point of invitation
Upon this love, I gave you up, with your adoration
Just use your head and in the end, you'll find your inspiration
So choose your steps, I won't regret, this time with admiration

I think he says
avoid the ..invitation

...aggravation

Hey all,

First post, have made very minor alterations to the lyrics, there is one or 2 parts that are sound so similar to other words that rather than contradict whats already been done, i've left alone, but in my ears, this is the lyrics set

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better.

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better


The hardest part this troubled heart has never yet been through now
We've healed the scars that got their start inside someone like you now

Well had I known or I'd been shown back when I longed you'd take me
To break the charge that brought me home and all but would erase me

I never would know that I could
No matter what you'd pay me.
Replay the part, you stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough, but just my luck
I fell in love and baby all that I wanted was

Now I know you better
You know I'd know better,
Now I know you better

So bittersweet, this tragedy won't ask for absolution
This melody inside of me still searches for solution
A twist of fate, a change of heart
Kills my infatuation,
A broken heart, provides the spark for my determination,

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
Ooh, no one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

All that I wanted was
I know you know you know better
You know I know you know better
Now you know me better

(Solo)


I never wanted you to be so full of anger,
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself

All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was

(Solo)

And knowing you, I bet it's true
A point of invitation
Upon this love that gave you up, with your adoration
Just use your head and in the end
You?ll find your inspiration,
To choose your steps, I won't regret
This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

Roll on the CD CD lol

I can't figure out how any one hear's "And knowing you" to me it sounds just like, and makes more sense as

If I were you I'd manage to avoid the invitation
A promised love that can't keep up with your adoration

but i guess we won't know unless something official ever gets printed

I didn't know where to find the thread on the lyrics to Better, so I'm starting a new topic for this.  As far as I can hear, the 3rd verse starts as follows:

If I were you
I'd manage to
Avoid the invitation

Rather than:

Just knowing you
I bet it's true
A point of invitation

Just contributing my two cents here on what I can hear and seems to make sense.  Laters.

Actually,  I think its


If I were you
I?d manage to
Avoid the invitation
Of promised love
That can?t keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You?ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
And won't regret
This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

The hardest part
This troubled heart
Has never yet been through now
We've healed the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now

Well had I known
Or I'd been shown back when how long it?d take me
To break the charms
That brought me home
If all that won't erase me

I never would
Know that I could
No matter what you'd pay me
We played(replay?) the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby all that I wanted was

Now I know you better
You know I'd know better
Now I, know you better

So bittersweet
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution
This melody
Inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twisted fate(faith?)
A change of heart
Kills my infatuation
A broken heart
To provide the spark for my determination

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better ohh
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

All that I wanted was
I know you know you know better
You know I know you know better
Yeah you know me better

(Solo)

I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself

(Solo)

All that I wanted was

Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was

(Solo)

I know better (repeat)

If I were you
I?d manage to
abhor the invitation
Of promised love
That can?t keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You?ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
And won't regret
This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better


My two cents... I used dave-gnfnr2k lyrics as a backbone and made changes to it in italics.  I especially think that "a twist of fate" is more likely to be "a twisted fate" and "avoid/abort the invitation" is actually "abhor the invitation."  The other changes I'm not so sure, but those fit in very well to the song.

Guns N' Roses - Better

(Intro)
No one ever told me when I was alone
they just thought I'd know better, better.

No one ever told me when I was alone
they just thought I'd know better, better.


The hardest part this troubled heart has never
yet been through now.
You've healed the scars that got their start
inside someone like you now.

 had I known what I've been shown back
when how long it'd take me.
To break the charge that brought me home
and all that won't erase me.

I never would know that I could no
matter what you'd pay me.
Replay the part, you stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy.

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me.
It'd be enough, but just my luck,
I fell in love and baby

all that I wanted was

Now I know you better,
You know I know better, now I know you better

So bittersweet this tragedy wont ask for absolution

This melody inside of me still searches for solution

A twist of fate the change of heart cures my infatuation

A broke heart provides the spark for my determination

(Intro)

All that  I wanted was

I know you know you know better
you know i know you know better
now you know me better

I never wanted you to be so full of anger
i never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted u to see things for yourself

All that i wanted was

Now i know you better
Now we all know better

All that I wanted was

(dont understand real high part)

If I were you i'd manage to avoid the invitation
A promised love that cant keep up with your adoration
Just use your head and in the end youll find your inspiration
to choose your steps and wont regret this kind of aggravation
