  • Baby's crying 'cause it's born to sing
    Singers cry about everything
    Still in the playground falling off a swing
    But you know that I know

    Walk through the room like a birthday cake
    When I am all lit up, I can't make a mistake
    And there's a level of shallow that you just can't fake
    But you know that I know

    Oh you don't care
    But you know I'm there

    You think you look so good
    A little more better
    Look so good
    Just a little more little more
    Look so good
    That's what's gonna get you
    Look so good
    Just a little more, little more

    You know you're chasing the sunlight
    That's why I'm stayin' up all night
    You think you look so good
    A little more better
    Look so good
    A little more

    It is what it is, but it's not what it seems
    This screwed up stuff is the stuff of dreams
    I got just enough low self esteem
    To get me where I wanna go oh

    The showman gives you front row to his heart
    The showman prays his heartache will chart
    Making a spectacle of falling apart
    Is just the start of the show oh

    Oh you don't care
    But you know I'm there

    You think you look so good
    A little more better
    Look so good
    Just a little more, little more
    Look so good

    That's what's gonna get you
    Look so good
    Just a little more, little more

    I'll be chasing the sunlight
    That's why I'm staying up all night
    I lie for a living, I love to let on
    But you make it true when you sing along

    You think you look so good
    A little more better
    Look so good
    Just a little more, little more
    Look so good
    That's what's gonna get you
    Look so good
    Just a little more, little more

    You think you look so good
    A little more better
    Look so good
    Just a little more, little more
    Look so good
    That's what's gonna get you
    Look so good
    Just a little more, little more Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
