Listen to poem:

Better Than the Rest

Lyrics by Jerry Thomas Curtis  

Better Than The Rest

Some think she has a crooked nose
And real sad sleepy eyes
Her hips they said, had to have spread
To compensate those thighs
But I just think, those things are there
To put me to the test
To see if I would realize
She's better than the rest

She didn't come from money
But I wouldn't say's she's poor
When I see her on that sofa bed
I couldn't ask for more
My friends say find a better girl
I say "You be my guest"
Cause I tell you now, straight from my heart
She's better than the rest


           chorus
They say that she's not good enough
For a cover of a magazine 
But went she holds me, late at night
She's my beauty Queen


            repeat
She didn't come from money
But I wouldn't say's she's poor
When I see her on that sofa bed
I couldn't ask for more
My friends say find a better girl
I say "You be my guest"
Cause I tell you now, straight from my heart
She's better than the rest

          
              chorus

They say that she's not good enough
For a cover of a magazine 
But went she holds me, late at night
She's my beauty Queen
