Commodores

Songwriter: Milan Williams

Producer: Commodores James Anthony Carmichael

Every day, I work my hands to the bone
It seems I have no money when I come home
With a wife and kids to raise
A piece of money seems impossible to save

Better never than forever, baby
Living in a world that's so untogether
Better never than forever, baby
Living in a world that won't do no better

During these times of turmoil and strife
I gotta make sure I save my family's life
Hard times are here but sure it seems
Whatever happened to America's dreams?

Better never than forever, baby
Living in a world that's so untogether
Better never than forever, baby
Living in a world that won't do no better

I never thought I'd see the day
People in this country would have to live this way
Robbin', stealin', on some kinda drug
Should be some damn way of tryin' to give a little love

Better never, living in a world so untogether
Better never, living in a world so untogether
Better never, living in a world so untogether
Better never, living in a world so untogether

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
