Lyrics
MADE ME A BETTER MAN
LIKE A WHIRLWIND...YOU CAME IN,
NEVER SAW IT COMING.
MADE MY HEAD SPIN, AND I CAN'T BEGIN,
TO TELL YOU JUST HOW BLESSED I FEEL.
DON'T NEED TO KNOW JUST WHAT TO CALL IT,
CUZ IT'S SO CLEAR THAT WE'RE BOTH FALLIN'.
YOU MAKE IT EASY JUST TO LET IT GO,
& BE WHAT IT WILL BE.
MY HEART UPON MY SLEEVE,
ALWAYS THE FOOL THAT RUSHED RIGHT IN,
NEVER HAVING ANY PLAN.
BUT YOU'VE SHOWN ME... THINGS I SHOULD'VE KNOWN,
& DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND....
& MADE ME A BETTER MAN.
MY SUN WAS GONE, ECLIPSED BY FEAR...
SEEMED LIKE I WAS LOST.
BUT BABY THEN I SAW YOU SMILE AT ME,
AND THE SKIES...THEY OPENED UP,
THEY OPENED UP.
MY HEART UPON MY SLEEVE,
ALWAYS THE FOOL THAT RUSHED RIGHT IN,
NEVER HAVING ANY PLAN.
BUT YOU'VE SHOWN ME... THINGS I SHOULD'VE KNOWN,
& DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND...
AND MADE ME A BETTER MAN
DON'T NEED TO KNOW JUST WHAT TO CALL IT...
IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT WE'RE BOTH FALLIN'....
HEART UPON MY SLEEVE,
ALWAYS THE FOOL THAT RUSHED RIGHT IN,
NEVER HAVING ANY PLAN.
BUT YOU'VE SHOWN ME... THINGS I SHOULD'VE KNOWN,
& DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND...
& MADE ME A BETTER MAN.
HEART UPON MY SLEEVE,
OUTTA MY HEAD I'D CRASH RIGHT IN,
I'D MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN.
BUT YOU'VE SHOWN ME... THINGS I SHOULD'VE KNOWN,
& DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND...
NO, DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND...
NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND, AND YOU...
MADE ME A BETTER MAN, YEAH.
