    Morning all,

    Following on from a post in "All things Retro" last night, there's a particular late 80s/possibly early 90s pop tune that I have on an old tape that has been bugging me for YEARS now because I can't figure out who did it (female artist anyway though). At this stage it's more morbid curiosity that makes me finally want to put this to rest! :p

    I've tried the usual googling of the lyrics etc on and off without any luck, so I thought I'd let you have a crack at it and see what you think.
    [intro/chorus]
    Gonna get better baby, I'm a good thing
    (I'm a good thing)
    you will never make me crawl
    (no you won't baby oh)

    Gonna get better baby, I'm a good thing
    (I'm a good thing)
    you will never make me crawl
    (no you won't baby oh)

    Said he'll never let me go
    said he's gonna hold me back
    said his name was Envy
    said things would get better

    I gotta rope around my neck
    got chains on my feet
    he's watchin every single thing I do
    now I'm running from the big boy

    Someone take my hand
    don't care if I fall
    don't care if I stumble
    I will never crawl

    take me by the hand
    don't care if I fall
    don't care if I tumble
    you won't make me crawl

    [chorus]
    Gonna get better baby, I'm a good thing
    (I'm a good thing)
    you will never make me crawl
    (no you won't baby oh)

    Gonna get better baby, I'm a good thing
    (I'm a good thing)
    you will never make me crawl
    (no you won't baby oh)


    Is there ... ? (can't quite make this line out)
    he's drowing my life
    my happiness is down the drain
    could be gone forever

    and jealous men are dangerous
    they're out of control
    I've got a ticket, got a ride
    I've got to save my soul

    Someone take my hand
    don't care if I fall
    don't care if I stumble
    I will never crawl

    take me by the hand
    don't care if I fall
    don't care if I tumble
    you won't make me crawl

    [chorus]
    Gonna get better baby, I'm a good thing
    (I'm a good thing)
    you will never make me crawl
    (no you won't baby oh)

    Gonna get better baby, I'm a good thing
    (I'm a good thing)
    you will never make me crawl
    (no you won't baby oh)

    [musical interlude]
    It goes on for a bit longer but hopefully it'll ring a bell with someone? :)
