"Better" lyrics
(feat. Meshell Ndegeocello)
I tell you why
I tell you why and you don't understand me
Hard as I try
We don't see eye to eye
And you can't understand me
I'm losing my mind trying to figure you out
You hold me so tight then you don't want me around
You're out late again and you won't say where you've been
And you don't understand me
Try not to give in, but you get under my skin pretending you don't understand me
And what do I get trying to figure you out?
Your actions don't match the words coming out of your mouth
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
People they get better all the time
And we'd make it okay if we could
Talk it out together
Baby we could really take the time
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
We'll relieve some pressure, get it right
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
Better, better, better you and I
You get so high strung
And I come undone trying to be more understanding
And it's just no fun
Think of what we could become
With just a little understanding
If you'd let me in, I bet we'd figure this out
I don't know where to begin I bet that you could
Show me how
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
People they get better all the time
And we'd make it okay if we could
Talk it out together
Baby we could really take the time
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
Better, better, better you and I
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
People they get better all the time
And we'd make it okay if we could
Talk it out together
Baby we could really take the time
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
We'll relieve some pressure, get it right
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
Better, better, better you and I
I tell you why and you don't understand me
Hard as I try
We don't see eye to eye
And you can't understand me
I'm losing my mind trying to figure you out
You hold me so tight then you don't want me around
You're out late again and you won't say where you've been
And you don't understand me
Try not to give in, but you get under my skin pretending you don't understand me
And what do I get trying to figure you out?
Your actions don't match the words coming out of your mouth
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
People they get better all the time
And we'd make it okay if we could
Talk it out together
Baby we could really take the time
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
We'll relieve some pressure, get it right
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
Better, better, better you and I
You get so high strung
And I come undone trying to be more understanding
And it's just no fun
Think of what we could become
With just a little understanding
If you'd let me in, I bet we'd figure this out
I don't know where to begin I bet that you could
Show me how
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
People they get better all the time
And we'd make it okay if we could
Talk it out together
Baby we could really take the time
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
Better, better, better you and I
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
People they get better all the time
And we'd make it okay if we could
Talk it out together
Baby we could really take the time
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
We'll relieve some pressure, get it right
There's got to be some way that we can get
Better, better, better
Better, better, better you and I
