Lyrics

BETTER MAN
VERSE ONE
He wears a suit and tie
Everything I own is worn and stained, never washing away
Stuck working day to night
His daddy owns the company

VERSE TWO
He makes twice as much, I work twice as hard
He can drive you round in fancy cars When most days I’m lucky if mine starts

PRE-CHORUS
Book a private plane
Flying you to Rome on the very first date He can buy your heart
Smother you in diamonds, owns a million-dollar home somewhere Vermont

CHORUS
But, he’s a phony, he’s a liar, he’s a cheater or does it matter?
If he can give you everything you’ve ever wanted
When I’ll be honest, I’ll be faithful, but I’ll never have his riches’
He can give you everything you’ve always dreamed of
is he a better? a better? a better man? If he can give you more, give you more than I can?

VERSE THREE
His hands washed clean
Hair gelled, perfectly pristine
My hands covered with grease
Hair tasseled and all messed up

VERSE FOUR
I can love you more and I can show it too
Not with money, but from the things I will do

PRE-CHORUS # 2
But he’ll book a private plane
Flying you to Pari on the very first date
Maids and pink champagne
Owns a million-dollar villa in Italy and Spain

CHORUS
But, he’s a phony, he’s a liar, he’s a cheater or does it matter?
If he can give you everything you’ve ever wanted
When I’ll be honest, I’ll be faithful, but I’ll never have his riches’
He can give you everything you’ve always dreamed of
is he a better? a better? a better man?
If he can give you more, give you more than I can?

CHORUS
But, he’s a phony, he’s a liar, he’s a cheater or does it even matter?
If he can give you everything you’ve ever wanted
I’ll be honest, I’ll be faithful, but I’ll never have his riches’
He can give you everything you’ve always dreamed of
is he a better? a better? a better man?
is he a better? a better? a better man?
