Better Things Lyrics

[Chorus: Karina, Ningning]
Oh, oh-oh, got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time than you
Oh-oh, I got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time

[Verse 1: Winter, Giselle]
I wasn't ever sure that I loved you
But I was always sure you would let me down
Wasn't ever sure if I trust you
But I'm so goddamn sure my energy is just too precious to waste
So now you, now you wanna

[Pre-Chorus: Ningning, Giselle]
Know me, wanna know me
Wanna know all about me, wanna know about me
But he can't have me 'cause I left him alone
You know you wanna know me, wanna know me
Wanna know all about me, wanna know about me
But he can't have me 'cause I'm gone, no-no, know

[Chorus: Karina, Winter, All, Ningning, (Giselle)]
That I, I-I got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time than you
Oh-oh, I got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time than you (Break it down)
Oh-oh, I, better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time than you (Yes)

[Verse 2: Ningning, Winter, Karina]
Wasn't ever sure if I loved you
But I was always sure you woulda loved me back
You had me right, right, right at my weakest, yeah
Now you're hurtin', I can see you're mad
'Cause you never gonna get that back, now I know you wanna

[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Karina, Ningning]
Know me, wanna know me
Wanna know all about me, wanna know about me
But he can't have me 'cause I left him alone (I left him alone)
I know you wanna know me, wanna know me
Wanna know all about me, wanna know about me
But he can't have me 'cause I'm gone, no-no, know

[Chorus: Ningning, Giselle, Karina]
That I, I got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time than you
Oh-oh, I got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time (Break it down)

[Bridge: Karina, Giselle, Winter, Ningning, (All)]
I'm sorry that it hurts you
No, I'm sorry I ain't sorry
​aespa, big girls makin' money
​aespa, you're our number one fan now
You can only see me at our sold out shows (Sold out show)
Will I ever go back? (No)
Will I ever trip up? (No)
Will I ever pull up on him? (No)
Watch and see, 'bout to throw another rhythm on him (Oh, that I)

[Chorus: All, Giselle, Karina]
I, I-I got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time than you (Yes)
Oh-oh, I got better things to do with my time
Better things to do with my time, do with my time (Break it down)

[Post-Chorus: Winter, Ningning, (All)]
(Hey) I got better
(Hey) Things to do

(Hey) I got better
(Hey) Things to do
With my time
