Better Man Lyrics
[Intro]
Soft as a shadow and strong as a drink I like
Cold as my dollars and warm as the waves I ride
[Verse 1]
You can meet me outside
Take a bruising to the pride
Wouldn't kick it when you're down
But I hate it when you lie
Tried to make me lose my cool
And you thought I wouldn't run
Every time I get a chance
Baby, I'm a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm soft as a shadow and strong as a drink I like
Cold as my dollars and warm as the waves I ride
[Chorus]
I'm the better man
I'm the better man
I'm the better man
I'm the better man
[Bridge]
Out of my head, but you makе me this way, I swear
Rose-tintеd glasses, but trust me, I'm seeing red
[Verse 2]
Took the confidence I had
You can watch me take it back
I'm the future and the past
That's a perfect hourglass
Tried to make me lose my cool
Hold my karma in my hands
Every time I get a chance
Baby, I'm a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm soft as a shadow and strong as a drink I like
Cold as my dollars and warm as the waves I ride
'Cause I'm soft as a shadow and strong as a drink I like
Cold as my dollars and warm as the waves I ride
[Chorus]
I'm the better man
I'm the better man
I'm the better man
I'm the better man

What did Ellie Goulding say about "Better Man"?
There’s a song on the deluxe version called “Better Man,” which just feels really empowering to sing because it’s me saying I’m the better man. And I don’t really know who I’m talking to other than when I wrote it, there was a lot of the #MeToo stuff was happening. It was a real personal moment in t...
What have the artists said about the song?
I’m forever inspired by that clip of Cher on Oprah [in 1990] saying, ‘I’m very gentle, I’m really sweet, but if you fuck with me, I’d really mop the floor with you.’ That’s the essence of this song. It’s really important for a woman to have that, especially in this industry. You’ve got to feel like...
