Newton-John, Olivia - Something Better To Do Lyrics
I try to be patient - I try not to moan
But it's driving me crazy trying to live here alone
My conversation gets nowhere when I talk to myself
I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until I'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine
But it's not much comfort when I'm crying on mine
I keep myself to myself but I'm no company
The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until I'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
Baby, till you're back in my arms
The birds will have to find something better to do

This arrangement and her voice are the epitome of smooth
Forget GREASE. I loved Sandy.
This is the kind of song they played on 80s Adult Contemporary stations that made most people switch stations.
Lyrics:
I try to be patient, I try not to moan
But it's driving me crazy, tryin' to live here alone
My conversation gets nowhere
When I talk to myself
I've lost my sense of humour
Somewhere here on the shelf
The moon is wasting its shine, shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
Well I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their songs, singin' to me
Until I'm wakin' with you
Until you're back in my arms, dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine
But it's not much comfort when I'm cryin' all night
Friends and relations
Are running out of patience with me
I keep myself to myself but I'm no company
The moon is wastin' its shine, shinin' on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
Well I'll be sleepin' by ten
The birds are wastin' their song, singin' to me
Until I'm wakin' with you
Until you're back in my arms, dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
The birds will have to find something better to do
Overlooked gem!
Need to work this out on my Ukulele!

Olivia's voice is Heaven-sent. She is one of my all time favorite vocalists ever....
Angels are bless with love
Love You Olivia that album follow me so synce my 12 years old ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was given the sheet music and I couldn't remember how it went, so I played this and I thought, "Oh, duh, right, I remember this song!" I always liked it. I think I had this album too.
40年前聴いて大好きになった素敵な曲です。懐かしさに その当時を思い出します。
I remember listening to this classic song in Phoenix, AZ on AM 55 KOY a one-time legendary MOR station. Thanks for posting it.
I love this song. I heard it for the first time in years today and it's 1975 all over again :]
So baby till you're back in my arms dear the birds will have to find something better to do...
This moves me so much :)
In memory of JOHN FIDDY, the musical arranger of this track............with love from Pat Farrar,, Vicki Brown and Clare Torry and see you at the pub for a large one presently......
one of my favorites by her.
Somehow this song popped into my head today, though I doubt I'd heard it for twenty years! I didn't feel like digging out my old 45 rpm! record so I searched online and here it is. What a sweet, simple, relaxing tune. I always loved those angelic harmonies, and still do -- they just brought me goosebumps.
Livvy, thanks for this song.
Gave Olivia pink roses in Foxwoods about 8 years ago. one of the highlights of my life!!!❤
my Idol❤
GOD and mines album!
so gorgeous and talented. You never cease to amaze me.
that was so great and so moving. thank You Ms. Olivia.
Do you know that the backing vocalists on this track are: Pat Farrar, Vicki Brown and Clare Torry ?
Arranger: John Fiddy and guess what, the Shadow's drummer, Bian Bennett on drums !
In the mid 70's, Olivia didn't do her own bv's, so the back-up singers had to copy her lead vocal exactly , add harmonies and then triple-track the lot !
So old fashioned, eh ?
love love
Gorgeous Olivia! I still have all the albums...fell in love with her over 40 yrs ago. God bless Olivia!!
Bad days bad days will hurry by one of many favorite sing along 2008 karaoke champion

My favorite Olivia song… dunno how old I was or where I was… Just love the song and remember it on the top 40 radio…
Memories of my first semester in college...
Thank you for Your UPauDE.
This sounds almost like a 1920s song for some reason, maybe it's the easy going sound..
