About this song: You Better You Bet

"You Better You Bet" was written by Pete Townshend as a love song for his girlfriend at the time. Townshend said of the song, "I developed ['You Better You Bet'] over several weeks of clubbing and partying. I had gone through a lean period in my marriage and was seeing the daughter of a friend of mine. I wanted it to be a good song because the girl I wrote it for is one of the best people on the planet."When commenting on the song's lyrics and music, Pete Townshend said, "'You Better You Bet' was a very spontaneous lyric.
