Better Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and I had something special, baby
Something that you only see on movie screens, I know
Lately, I've been missing you like crazy
Oh, why, why’d you let me in just to let me go?

[Pre-Chorus]
Most guys will get high when feeling low
But I don't think that that's the way to go
Sometimes I’ll be sitting on my own
Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me

[Chorus]
How do you lose the one you love?
After giving it all, you gave it up
Maybe my love wasn't enough
You think you know, but you never can
How do you lose your only plan?
Well darling, just give me one more chance
And I'll give you everything I have
I'll try to be a better man

[Verse 2]
I felt things when we were naked
I saw an angel, but they've hidden their wings, I know
Everyone's got that special baby
Oh, I, now I only see you in my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Most guys will get high when feeling low
But I don’t think that that’s the way to go
Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own
Thinking ’bout life, thinking 'bout you and me

[Chorus]
How do you lose the one you love?
After giving it all, you gave it up
Maybe my love wasn't enough
You think you know, but you never can
How do you lose your only plan?
Well darling, just give me one more chance
And I'll give you everything I have
I’ll try to be a better man

[Bridge]
I've been up and I've been down
Think that's just what love's about
You took the words right out my mouth
If you feel it, say it now
It's been a while but I've figured it out
But ain't that just what love's about?
You took the words right out my mouth
But if you feel it, say it now
[Chorus]
How do you lose the one you love? (How do you lose?)
After giving it all, you gave it up
And maybe my love wasn't enough
You think you know, but you never can
And how do you lose your only plan?
Well darling, just give me one more chance
And I'll give you everything I have
I'll try to be a better man

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
