I've Got Something Better
Lisa Stansfield · Face Up [2001]
But I've got somethin' better
Come closer, much closer
Kiss and confide
One taste and be sure you'll find sugar inside
I feel your caress
I'm undressed by your eyes
There'll be no inhibition tonight
Open up, show me love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb - baby let's use it
Open up, show show love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb..
Baby close your eyes, take your time, relax awhile
'Cus know when you do it boy you do it to the letter
Stop wasting precious time imagining what we can do
You'use got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better
You've got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better
Take what you're thinking and times it by ten
Now you know where you're coming from
Let it begin
Tell me your fantasies, I'll show you mine
There'll be no inhibition tonight
Open up, show me love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb - baby let's use it
Open up, show show love, turn up the music
Tear me up, turn me on
We got the bomb
Baby close your eyes, take your time, relax awhile
'Cus know when you do it boy you do it to the letter
Stop wasting precious time imagining what we can do
You've got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better
You'ue got somethin' us your mind
But I've got somethin' better
I've Got Something Better

The track features her signature melodic sensibility and emotive vocal delivery, characteristic of the soft pop and adult contemporary genres she helped define during her peak years. While the song was not part of her initial breakthrough era, it demonstrates her enduring ability to craft emotionally resonant ballads that blend romantic themes with a sense of moving on. The recording stands as a testament to her career longevity, showcasing her continued relevance in the music industry over two decades. It complements her discography of hits such as "Just To Keep You Satisfied" and "Whenever You're Gone," which established her as a leading figure in 1990s pop music.
