Verse1
Go find someone better,
go find what you need,
I don't see your future
hangin' around with me.
Go find someone better,
if that's been on your mind,
I won't try to hold you back
I won't try to stop you this time.

 

Verse 2 
Go find someone better
you don't know if I'm the one,
well that's ok, don't want ya to stay
if you're not having fun. 
You don't seem to think I was
the lover of your dreams,
so go find someone better,
don't you worry none about me.

 

Bridge:
Oh today my life's a desert
but some day it might rain,
and some day I might get to see
those flowers again.
My life is a desert,
got nothing good in sight,
but when you find someone better
maybe we'll both sleep better at night.

 

Verse 3
I thought you were my hero,
thought you rode in to save the day,
but maybe you're just wastin' my time
and standin' in my way. 
Go find someone better,
do the best you can.
You’re not the only woman,
and I sure ain't the only man.

and I sure ain't the only man.

I love that moptop and Polly got together on this and showed us two different ways to present a song. I like them both.  Polly's lyrics are always just right, IMO. There's an honesty that comes through and grabs me every time. And of course, I'm a fan of whatever moptop does musically.  Love the Byrds feel of this one.

 

Nice job, you guys!
