Better Man Lyrics

Waitin', watchin' the clock
It's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, "Take no more"
She practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over

She lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Oh

Talkin' to herself
There's no one else who needs to know
She tells herself, oh
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone

She lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man

She loved him, yeah
She don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah
That's why she'll be back again

Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man

What is the Meaning of Better Man?

This evocative track explores the emotional turmoil of a woman trapped in an unsatisfactory relationship. The recurring phrase, "Can't find a better man," conveys her struggle with self-esteem and fear of loneliness, making her settle for less than she deserves. She is seen lying to herself about her love for him, showing the depth of her denial and desperation. The lyrics also hint at a lost sense of self ('Memories back when she was bold and strong'), suggesting that the relationship has eroded her confidence over time. Despite it all, she continues to nurture him ('She feeds him'), indicating an unhealthy cycle of codependency and sacrifice. #UnhealthyRelationship #SelfEsteem #Codependency
