Lyrics

A BETTER MAN

SHE WAS TALKIN' IN HER SLEEP LATE LAST NITE. AND I KNOW I AIN'T BEEN TREATIN' HER JUST RITE.
I LISTENED TO THE WORDS SHE HAD TO SAY AND I THOUGHT I HEARD HER WHISPER "GO AWAY"

I BROUGHT HER SORROW, I COULD UNDERSTAND, BUT THEN I SWEAR I HEARD HER SAY "A BETTER MAN"

I WOKE HER UP AND TOLD THAT I LOVED HER MORE THAN LIFE, I SAID THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERED WAS KEEPIN' HER MY WIFE.

I SAID I NEED SOME TIME TO STRAIGHTEN UP, ASKED HER PLEASE TO UNDERSTAND. GIVE ME SOME TIME TO WORK THINGS OUT AND I'LL COME BACK A BETTER MAN.

CHORUS: UNTIL I'M BACK UP ON MY FEET AGAIN, LORD, KEEP HER ON MY MIND.KEEP ME LOOKIN' FOR THE GOOD TO COME, NOT WHAT I LEFT BEHIND.
TELL ME WHEN YOU THINK I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE ANOTHER CHANCE, TELL ME WHEN YOU THINK I AM A BETTER MAN.

IT WAS HER LOVE THAT GOT ME THROUGH, BUT IT WAS HELL ON EARTH. AND THE REASON THAT I MADE WAS, I KNEW WHAT LOVIN' HER WAS WORTH.

SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO STICK WITH ME, SHE COULD HAVE TURNED AND RAN, BUT SHE'S NOT THAT KIND OF WOMAN, AND SHE DESERVES A BETTER MAN.

REPEAT CHORUS:
