Better Man

J & the Soul Attorneys Gaines

Being here without you, is something I can't stand
Coz everything about you has left me a broken man.
I imagine us together, but I see that we're apart
Sometimes I wonder whether, you can mend this broken heart.
Now I've opened up my eyes, I was blind now I see,
Realizing that you're deep inside of me.

Lord knows what I'd do, just to be with you
Just to hold your hand, be a better man.
Get down on my knees, just to make you see
I'd do anything for the love you bring.
Well I try, yes I tried and I know what I am,
But I'm doing the best that I can, just to be a better man

So Mother Mary help me,
God help me make it through.
To conquer this addiction, the addiction that is you.
It would be easier if baby you'd come in my arms tonight,
Knowing you are there I wouldn't face the fire.

Lord knows what I'd do, just to be with you
Just to hold your hand, be a better man.
Get down on my knees, just to make you see
I'd do anything for the love you bring.
Well I tried, yes I tried and I know what I am,
But I'm doing the best that I can, just to be a better man.

(Just to be a better man)
Tell me what I have to do coz I want to be with you.
(Just to be a better man)
Tell me what I gotta be so that you come back to me.

Now I've opened up my eyes, I was blind now I see,
Realizing that you're deep inside of me.
Lord knows what I'd do, just to be with you,
Just to hold your hand, be a better man.
Get down on my knees, just to make you see,
I'd do anything for the love you bring.
Lord knows what I'd do, just to be with you
Just to hold your hand, be a better man.
Well I tried, yes I tried and I know what I am,
But I'm doing the best that I can, just to be a better man.
