[Verse 1]
You're just another in a long line of men she screwed
Just another in a long line of men she knew
Oh yeah, she did, yeah, she did what she wanted to do
Like all the boys before, another dream come true
It's a power, it's a power, it's a power move
And while I'm not quite sure what she's trying to prove
They all say she's got low self-esteem
So, why is she looking like a cat who got the crеam?

[Refrain]
And she'll network 'til her drеams come true
Even if it means getting in a bed with you
Everybody's friend, does it ring a bell?
I know a little too much but I'll never tell

[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

[Chorus]
I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that
Better than that, better than that, ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
She's the apple of everybody's eye
With an angel voice (Devil in disguise)
Got a sour face like a poisoned fruit
That the boys can taste 'til they're out of use

[Refrain]
And she'll network 'til her dreams come true
Even if it means getting in a bed with you
Everybody's friend, does it ring a bell?
I know a little too much but I'll never tell

[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you can do better than
You can do better than that

[Chorus]
I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know you've been feeling down
You're always out on the town, town
But you can do better than that
Better than that, better than that, ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
Well, I guess it's just what humans do
Hook up with other people 'til it all falls through
And when it's over, they go out and try and heal their pain
Hook up with another lover, do it all again
I'm not passing judgment on her sexual life
I'm passing judgement on the way she always stuck her knife
In my back ever since we were starting out
Suspicious from the start, I always had my doubts about you
You can do better than, you can do better than that

[Chorus]
I know you've been feeling sad
I've got no right to be mad, mad
But you can do better than that
And I know that you're not to blame
You just got caught in a game, game
But you can do better than that
Better than that, better than that, ooh-ooh
Better than that, better than that
Better than that, ooh-ooh

Marina Diamandis

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
