[Verse 1]
You're the Moon in the dark
Got me acting wild, got me working hard
Natural, work of art
You ain't gotta try 'cause I'm already yours
[Pre-Chorus]
And I couldn't run a mile in your shoes
Couldn't pay my dues like you do
Or look as half as good as you if I tried to
And, baby, you know I'd die to
[Chorus]
'Cause you love me like I'm better than I am
All your love is making me a better man
All your love is making me a better, better, better man
Ooh, tryna give it to ya the best I can
Oh, living up to the one you think I am
All your love is making me a better, better, better man
[Verse 2]
You're a dream, knock me out
You pick me back up when I'm down, hey, what's that about?
What you need? Say the word
Tryna give back to you all that you deserve
[Pre-Chorus]
And I couldn't run a mile in your shoes
Couldn't pay my dues like you do
Or look as half as good as you if I tried to
And, baby, you know I'd die to
[Chorus]
'Cause you love me like I'm better than I am
All your love is making me a better man
All your love is making me a better, better, better man
Ooh, tryna give it to ya the best I can
Oh, living up to the one you think I am
All your love is making me a better, better, better man
[Bridge]
Ahh (Ah, yeah), ahh, ahh, ah (Ooh-ah)
Ahh (Ahh-ooh), ahh (Yeah), ahh, ah
[Chorus]
'Cause you love me like I'm better than I am
All your love is making me a better man
All your love is making me a better, better, better man
Ooh, tryna give it to ya the best I can
Oh, living up to the one you think I am
All your love is making me a better, better, better man
[Outro]
(Ooh, tryna give it back to you the best I can)
(Oh, living up to the one you think I am)
("I like that, oh, living—")
("Yeah, that feels classic.")
("Yeah, sick.")

“Better Man” is a song about the people who inspire us to be or do better. It can be the big things or small things in life that motivate us to make those changes, but at the heart of it is wanting to be the best version of ourselves to share a beautiful life with someone.
