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

1-She lies and says she's in love with him
Can't...

    This song is about a woman. She's been with a man for quite a while, but she doesn't really love him. ("She lies and says she's in love with him") She wants to get up the courage to leave him ("Tell him, take no more
    She practices her speech, as he opens the door
    ") but she's not brave enough. ("She rolls over
    Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
    ") She can't find a better man than him, though she wishes she could. ("She dreams in color, she dreams in red
    Can't find a better man, can't find a better man") She doesn't let anyone else know that she doesn't love him.("Talkin', to herself there's no one else
    Who needs to know")
    She used to be able to stand up for herself and she used to be happy. ("Memories back when she was bold and strong And waiting for the world to, come along") She finally breaks up with him.("now she swears he's gone") She feels bad, so she'll get back with him, because she feels that he needs her.("She loved him, yeah... She don't want to leave this way She feeds him,yeah That's why she'll be back again")
