Can't Get Better Than This

Lyrics

Everybody’s half dead – everybody avoids everybody, all over the place in most situations most all of the time – I know I know I’m one of these everybodies - and so all I’m tryin to do all the time, is just open people up, open people up, open people up - that is all, that is it – that is all, that is it…
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
I always thought I was shaking people up – open people up, open people up -
But now I want to go at it more coldly - I want to shake people up so bad that when they leave the nightclub, I want them to be peacin’ - I want to go in that den of those elegant people and their 
old ideas - smugness, and drive them, drive them insane – open people up, open people up –
Nobody can tell you though, you gotta feel it, it’s what make a groove…
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
What’s free to me?  Same thing as to you – you tell me.  Just a feeling, it’s just a feeling, it’s like – 
how do you tell someone how it feels to be in love?  You cannot do it, you cannot do it to save your life, you can describe it, but you can’t tell ‘em – but you know it when it happens - that’s what I mean by free – free. I had a couple of times on stage when I really felt free – it was really something else.
I tell ya what freedom is to me – no fear. I mean really no fear.  Lots of children have no fear – 
that’s the closest…that’s the only way I can describe it, like a new way of seein’ - no fear…
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
What’s free to me – same thing as to you – you tell me
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
No fear – open people up, open people up
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
What’s free to me – same thing as to you – you tell me
