Lyrics
When it comes down to it I'm an ordinary guy
Like everyone else I'm scraping by
And I can't figure out how the rumor was spread
Apparently I'm better than Ted
Sometimes I can be a little obsessive,
Impressive, possessive, and even excessive
And I don't want to get a really big head,
Apparently I'm better than Ted
CHORUS:
I'm better than Ted Yes, that's what I said
I might be better off dead - I'm better than Ted
I can be stupid in love and money
I crack myself up, but it's not that funny
And I heard some folks 'round town are seeing red
'cuz apparently I'm better than Ted
I'm better than Ted Might be better unsaid
It could be all in my head But, I'm better than Ted
You can't help being who you are
Just a random dude or superstar
Sourdough or whole wheat bread
Apparently I'm better than Ted
I'm better than Ted Might be better unsaid
It could be all in my head But, I'm better than Ted
