The Who | You Better You Bet (HQ)

Face Dances (1981)

[bradleylowden]

One of my favorite Who albums. This song is pure magic.

[Rob_Kates]

This is a brilliant song, one of the best from the period post Keith Moon. I love everything about it, like the backing vocals, the keyboards, etc.

[austincalloway]

This song came into my head recently and I had to check it out again. Even better than I remember!!

[jelogram]

When I was in high school, I told a girl I loved her and she said “You better!”

[SuperJohnnyO]

When I say, "I love this song", you say, "You better"!

[jcalli]

Great song and nice collection of Pics, I remember as a 14-15 year old when this song came out, a lot of older Who fans didn't like it, but I think its aged very well

[joek]

This song is out-of-the-stratosphere good. My God.

[clydehinman]

Those black and white MTV videos of the WHO. pure artistic and awesome instrument play. It made me, an 11 year old percussionist at an all black school teach my fellow band mates how to play and sing this song. Another tricky day is the story of my life. 🤔

[scottmurphy]

The greatest band of all time and yes, all of us Kids Are STILL Alright. RIP Keith and John

I basically learned to play drums playing along to this. Moon God, Kenny Saint.

[ShatnerLover]

This is my all-time favorite song. Masterful key change and amazing performances. Plus, super catchy.

[alansmith]

The OX Rules! For the youth out there this man was the greatest bassist on earth.

[jamiemoll]

How does an awesome song like this only have 44 comments? I'm drink to John and Keith!

[terencemeikle]

The Entwistle beard: it was the greatest transformational addition in rock history for sure. Overnight from a goofy git to a Grecian god. 🧔

[raymondmalcuit]

This Song Went To Number 18 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1981.

[colallison]

"Welcome me with open arms and open legs" Genius!.

[Chris-eyrn]

Love all the band pictures especially Keith and John : may those 2 be jamming together ❤

[alistaircooke]

This song brings back the memories of summer 81 I was 13.

You better you better you bet
You better you better you bet
You better you better you bet
You better you better you bet

I call you on the telephone
My voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I’m dealing with a memory that never forgets

I love to hear you say my name
Especially when you say “yes”
I got your body right now on my mind
But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex

To the sound of old T-Rex
And “Who’s Next?”

When I say, “I love you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet
When I say, “I need you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet

You better bet your life
Or love will cut you like a knife

I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown
I’m not into your passport picture
I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs
But this one never begs

I don’t really mind how much you love me
A little is alright
When you say, “Come over and spend the night”
Tonight, tonight

When I say, “I love you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet
When I say, “I need you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet

You better bet your life
Or love will cut you like a knife

I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters
Saying “you better”

You better bet your life

You better love me all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me all the time now
You better shove me back into line now

I showed up late 1 night
With a neon light for a visa
But knowing I am so eager to fight
Can’t make letting me in any easier

I know I’ve been wearing crazy clothes
And I look pretty crappy sometime
But my body feels so good
And I still sing a razor line every time

And when it comes to all-night living
I know what I’m giving
I’ve got it all does to a tee
And it’s free

When I say, “I love you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet
When I say, “I need you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet

When I say, “I love you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you scream you better
You better you better you bet

When I say, “I love you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet
When I say, “I need you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet

When I say, “I love you, ” you say, “You better…”
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you scream you better
You better you better you bet

You better bet your life
Or love will cut you just like a knife

Starting the day with this song is better. You bet.
