"A Better Man" lyrics Toni Braxton Lyrics "A Better Man"
[Verse 1]
Hello
Hello it's me again
You're still not home
Cause if you were
It's after 4 a.m.
I wouldn't be here alone
See, God give me the strength
And the
Courage I need
When my heart aches for you
I have to let it be
[Chorus:]
But it's OK
I Understand…
You've got to leave
I won't cry no more
Baby what for?
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be, a better man for me, yeah
There's got to be, a better man for me
[Verse 2]
Hell no
Oh no not this again
I'll be counting down
Your bags are packed
And they're at the door
I've got to get used to not having you around
God gave me the strength
And the
Courage I need
To move forward with my life
I have to let it be…
[Chorus:]
But it's OK
I Understand…
You've got to leave
I won't cry no more
Baby what for?
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be
Got to be
A better man
A better man
For me
There's got to be, a better man for me
Got to be a better man
Oooh, darlin'
Hear me now
God give me the strength
And the
Courage I need
Cause I know now, baby
There's got to be a better man for me
You've got to leave
Oooh yeah
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be
Got to be a better plan
A better man for me, baby
One more time, yeah, ya'll
There's got to be, a better man for me
See I'm tired of your lying
And I'm tired of trying
You've got to leave
I don't cry no more
Baby what for?
You don't shed a tear for me
See I was blind, but now I see
There's got to be, a better plan for me.
Somewhere out there, baby
There's got to be, a better man for me
Oooh
Yeah
Got to be a better man
