Description
A little poison, a little nail polish - and you've got a look that makes jealousy shine as bright as patent leather boots. It's all about that feeling when someone else's stuff looks too good to look at calmly. When you don't want to cry into your pillow, but to go out into the world, sparkling to the last eyelash, and remind him: ‘Yes, you're with her, of course, but you looked much more impressive with me.’
There is coquetry in the voice, behind which lies steel. The rhythm is like walking on thin heels between irony and self-confidence. It is flirting with the boundaries of what is permissible, a little daring, a little theatrical. And, to be honest, a little sparkle in response to heartbreak has never hurt anyone.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Better
I wear my patent leather boots
I know that I'll run into you
I wear my blush 'cause I'm a doll
And then I tease my hair all tall, baby
Tonight, just pretend
That she's dead and gone
Tell me y'all are done
It could be so fun
'Cause I like your look, it's so extreme
You walk the street so effortlessly
She wears you well, but can't you see?
That you definitely look better on me, yeah
I want you to dress just for me
Your Acqua di Giò on my sheets
But you're already on a leash
So that's unfortunate for me, baby
Tonight, just pretend
That she's dead and gone
Tell me y'all are done
It could be so fun
'Cause I like your look, it's so extreme
You walk the street so effortlessly
She wears you well, but can't you see?
That you definitely look better on me, yeah
(So extreme)
(So effortlessly)
He looks better, b-better o-on me
He looks better, b-better o-on me
He looks better, b-better o-on me
He looks better, b-better o-on me, yeah
(B-better, b-better, b-better, b-better, b-better, b-better)
(B-b-b-b-b-b-better, you)
Like your look, it's so extreme
You walk the street so effortlessly
She wears you well, but can't you see?
That you definitely look better on me, yeah
(Woo)
(So extreme)
(Looks better, looks better, looks b-b-better)
(So effortlessly)
'Cause you definitely look better on me, yeah
Yeah
