Valerie Simpson
Better Man
[Intro]
If I kept bringin' her home, ha
Tell you wanna I'm gonna do
Then I'll leave it alone
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
La, da-la-la
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo
The better man I am for you, oh babe
Listen

[Verse 1]
There, seen you pacin' right there
Starin' down at your watch
Tick, tock, tick, no show again
Pardon me, excuse my askin' but he
Must be out of his mind
Girl, may I take you out with me tonight? Whoa

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a bad look, girl
You know he's just gamin', he promised the world
Somethin' about him, don't sit with me girl
And baby, I just wanna make sure that you can see

[Chorus]
What you're worth, he really don't get it
So in love, well baby, he missed it
Said you don't need to settle
'Cause I'm the better man for you
Second best, never a good look
You with me, yeah we know is the best look
Baby girl, why you settle
When I'm the better man for you?
[Verse 2]
Damn, there you go once again
Trippin' out over him
Why do you deal with this? (Tell me, baby)
Oh baby please, you don't hear the stories
I want to set your mind at ease
If you let me, I wanna give you all of me, baby (C'mon, c'mon)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a bad look, girl
You know he's just gamin', he promised the world
Somethin' about him, don't sit with me girl
And baby, I just wanna make sure that you can see

[Chorus]
What you're worth, he really don't get it
So in love, well baby, he missed it
Said you don't need to settle
'Cause I'm the better man for you
Second best, never a good look
You with me, yeah we know is the best look
Baby girl, why you settle
When I'm the better man for you?

[Bridge]
If you could, girl
See all the things that I do
Then you would see what he does
Just makes him look like a fool
You know you don't need him, baby
Don't give him no more of you
I'll make you the one, girl
I just want you see my love is for real
[Chorus]
What you're worth, he really don't get it
So in love, well baby, he missed it
Said you don't need to settle
'Cause I'm the better man for you
Second best, never a good look
You with me, yeah we know is the best look
Baby girl, why you settle
When I'm the better man for you?
What you're worth, he really don't get it
So in love, well baby, he missed it
Said you don't need to settle
'Cause I'm the better man for you
Second best, never a good look
You with me, yeah we know is the best look
Baby girl, why you settle
When I'm the better man for you?
