英國／澳洲歌壇巨星［奧莉薇亞．紐-頓強］──鄉村／流行情歌──［Something Better To Do］

I try to be patient, I try not to moan

But its driving me crazy, tryin to live here alone

My conversation gets nowhere

When I talk to myself

Ive 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 wont be out in the moonlight

Well Ill be sleeping by ten

The birds are wasting their songs, singin to me

Until Im wakin with you

Until youre 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 its not much comfort when Im cryin all night

Friends and relations

Are running out of patience with me

I keep myself to myself but Im no company

The moon is wastin its shine, shinin on me

Until I see you again

I wont be out in the moonlight

Well Ill be sleepin by ten

The birds are wastin their song, singin to me

Until Im wakin with you

Until youre back in my arms, dear

The birds will have to find something better to do

(My baby, until youre back in my arms)

The birds will have to find something better to do

１９７５年中期　在同鄉海倫芮迪（Helen Reddy）鼓勵下　英國／澳洲籍歌壇巨星奧莉薇亞．紐-頓強（Olivia Newton-John）從英國搬到美國　專心發展其鄉村樂事業

１９７５年９月　　奧莉薇亞推出大碟［Clearly Love／清晰的愛］

由長期伙伴John Farrar製作

專輯只拿到美國榜＃１２　對比前兩張［If You Love Me, Let Me Know］ ［Have You Never Been Mellow］皆登上專輯榜后座　可謂一大失望

不過銷售能拿到金唱片（５０萬張＋）

另外加拿大＃３９　拿到白金唱片

日本則升到排行榜＃３　鞏固她成為當地最受歡迎外國女歌手的地位

在荷蘭　［Clearly Love］甚至登上專輯榜冠軍

大碟首支主打是［Something Better To Do］

由John Farrar譜寫／製作成一首鄉村／流行情歌

在中板的節拍中, 奧莉薇亞的詮釋溫婉迷人

此曲登上美國單曲榜＃１３──中斷紐-頓強五首Top１０熱門曲的佳績

另拿到副榜－鄉村榜＃１９　

但奧莉薇亞在成人電台仍舊受歡迎,  五度在副榜－Easy Listening榜封后　

國際市場：加拿大＃２６　紐西蘭＃４０　澳大利亞＃６０

從［Clearly Love］與［Something Better To Do］起, 紐-頓強事業開始走下坡, 直到１９７８年大賣歌舞電影〔Grease／火爆浪子〕才再啟事業另一高峰
