Del Amitri - A better man

Let's face the truth, the deed is done Look at me now babe, and say I'm still the one Just who are we trying to defend A burnt-out building should be condemned Baby, I don't even know you anymore, do I? Don't look forlorn, don't look so sad Deep down you know I was always bad You say, "I don't know even know you anymore (baby) I don't even know if I'm sure what I want" Maybe a better man could understand Maybe a better man could be your friend Maybe a better man who would hold you Like I'll never really hold you Maybe he could love you so that baby, I may be a better man Yes I know, things have changed Once we were lovers, now we ain't even friends And maybe love, don't ask me why, Is something for which I ain't qualified You say, "I can't even see the boy you were (baby) And I don't think it's good to even be here anymore" Maybe a better man could understand Maybe a better man could be your friend Maybe a better man could hold you like I'll never really hold you Maybe he could love you so that baby, I may be a better man Maybe a better man could be your friend Maybe a better man could understand Maybe a better man wouldn't leave you Wouldn't hurt you and deceive you Wouldn't leave you to believe that someday he may be a better man Would be your friend And understand so that you'd never need again A better man A better man A better man
