[Verse 1]
Down here in the bottom, there ain't no room for me
I don't wanna make no babies (No babies)
I don't need a man to save me (Save me)
Secondhand loneliness, pass on over me
I might wanna make some babies (Some babies)
Runnin' outta time for waiting (For waiting)

[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom and triumph, they weren't meant for me
Girls of my color find somethin' else to be (To be)

[Chorus]
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm bеtter, I'm better
(I'm bеtter)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)

[Verse 2]
Up here in the bottom, you linger over me
I got all this space to fill (I got all this space to fill)
Somethin' only bodies heal (Only bodies heal)
Promiscuous holiness, slope is slippery
I got all this time to kill (Time to kill)
Somethin' like a prayer to kneel to
[Pre-Chorus]
Lay on my pillow, you think I'm so weak (Weak)
Soft as my skin is, my power's discreet (Discreet)

[Chorus]
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)

[Bridge]
Thick with birds, I met you in the dirt
Wicked burns, you left me so hurt
Thick with birds, you left me in the dirt
Sick at first, but haven't I learned?

[Chorus]
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
(I'm better)
