Better Days - Janet Jackson - Song of the Week
Better Days - Janet Jackson
I used to sit and wonder
Would I ever be happy?
Life was so bitter sweet
So many disappointments
Too many ups and downs for me
When you live a nightmare
It's hard to dream
But sometimes life just isn't fair
So why complain nobody cares?
And I don't wanna waste nobody's time
So I'm
I'm 'bout to change my vibe
Today the sun's gonna shine
'Cause I made up my mind
That today will be the start of better days
Leavin' old shit behind
And move on with my life
The blindfold's off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days
Afraid of my reflection
Tell me that's not me I see
That's who I wanna be
Stuck somewhere in the middle
On half full or half empty
Waitin' for somebody to come and rescue me
Can't let that pretty attitude
Start to jade my point of view
Only thing it does is bring me down
So I'm
I'm 'bout to change my vibe
Today the sun's gonna shine
'Cause I made up my mind
That today will be the start of better days
Leavin' old shit behind
And move on with my life
The blindfold's off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days
Hurt so many times before
I used to cry but no more
Just let it go and life can feel
So good
Stop livin' the blues
Can't let that petty attitude
Start to jade my point of view
Only thing it does is bring me down
So I'm
I'm 'bout to change my vibe
Today the sun's gonna shine
'Cause I made up my mind
That today will be the start of better days
Leavin' old shit behind
And move on with my life
the blindfold's off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days
I'm 'bout to change my vibe
(Better day yea)
Today the sun's gonna shine
(Better day I made up my mind)
'Cause I made up my mind
(Better day yeah)
That today will be the start of better days
(Better day yea)
Leavin' old shit behind
(Better days yeah)
And move on with my life
The blindfold's off my eyes
And now all I see for me is better days
I'm 'bout to change my vibe
(Day yea)
Today the sun's gonna shine
(Day yea)
'Cause I made up my mind
(Day yea)
That today will be the start of better days
(Day yea)
Leavin' old shit behind
(Day yea)
And move on with my life
(Day yea)
