Better Man Than Me
Better man, don’t you wanna be a better man
Better man, don’t you wanna be a better man
Better man, don’t you wanna be a better man
Better man, better man
I’m trying really hard to be a better man
But it’s, easier doing wrong
I sleep all day, at night I go and play my sad songs
But if you want to find yourself a good woman
And have a family of your own
Better get a real job and stop going out all night long
I guess, I should have known right from the start
Takes a better man than me to win your heart
Better man, don’t you wanna be a better man
Better man, better man
Maybe I don’t make enough money
Or maybe I don’t look as good as you do
Either way I’m wondering if there’s something I can’t explain
Well, it is what it is, I should just let it be
There’s no chance for you and me
Everyone is saying there’s some things you will never change
I guess, I should have known right from the start
Takes a better man than me to win your heart
Better man, don’t you want to be a better man
Better man, don’t you want to be a better man
Better man, don’t you want to be a better man
Better man, better man, better man
Better man, don’t you want to be a better man
Better man, better man
Mama tried to tell me, my friends did to but I
Wouldn’t heed their advice
All the women in my life couldn’t steer my right
Now it’s hopeless
I wish I had the means to get the girl of my dreams
But it seems that I was born to lose
It may sound funny but no girl will ever love me
And I know this
I guess, I should have known right from the start
Takes a better man than me to win your heart
Better man than me to win your heart
Better man than me to win your heart
Better man, don’t you want to be a better man
Better man, don’t you want to be a better man
Better man, don’t you want to be a better man
Better man, better man, better man
