Better

(album: Timing - 2012)

He's the kind of guy
Who would lie through his teeth
When he needs to fake it
And he'll make you smile for a while
Til he meets someone new to play with
(Oh yeah)
I'll always be the boy that you played with in the street
If you treat me just like all the little boys that you meet
Well, I may not have swag, but girl I know that I've got heart

So don't you do it (no)
Don't be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say that he ain't your man
Ain't your better half
You'd see who is if you'd choose me (choose me)

Well I'm no him, but he's no me
I'm better, oh well I'm better, baby
I'm so sure if you'd choose me
You'll see, oh you'll see, girl
Not just the boy that you've grown up with
Now I'm the man that you should come be with
Well I know I ain't him, but he ain't me
He ain't me

Look, he's got a gift
Make you feel like he's it
So much charm, it's blinding
Sure the grass is green, that don't mean
That there ain't any snakes in hiding
(Oh) I wanna be the guy that can sweep you off your feet
Give you all the love I know you feel in your dreams
Well, I may not have swag, but girl I know that I've got heart

So don't you do it (no)
Don't be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say this; he ain't your man
Ain't your better half
You'd see who is if you'd choose me (choose me)
Well I'm no him, but he's no me
I'm better, oh well I'm better, baby
I'm so sure if you'd choose me
You'll see, oh well you'll see, girl
Not just the boy that you've grown up with
Now I'm the man that you should come and be with
Well I know I ain't him, girl but he's no me

Falling's so easy when you're not looking
Oh well I hope you're looking 'cause
Don't take too much for you to lose your footing
(Well now)
I'm always there to catch you if you lose your step
But you don't have to fall to know there's better yet
Well I know I ain't him girl, no I'm glad I ain't

Don't be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say this; he ain't your man
Ain't your better half
You'd see who is if you'd choose me (choose me)
Well I'm no him, but he's no me
I'm better, oh well I'm better, baby
I'm so sure if you'd choose me
You'll see, oh you'll see, girl
Not just the boy that you've grown up with
Now I'm the man that you should come and be with
Well I know I ain't him, girl
No no no, he ain't me
No, he ain't me
He'll never be, he'll never be like me
