So betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught me so many things about myself
And you know this is true
But now we are apart and it's all my fault
'Cause you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
So why can I share me with you girl or anyone?
Don't want to be a thorn in your side, good woman
Always be the one to make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy, good woman
'Cause you deserve everything
And I got nothing, so leave me
And I'll go away, better off I stay
Far from you, you, you, you, you
'Cause you are beautiful, beautiful woman
Now typical man, I am because you think
I want my cake and eat it too
'Cause say I can't be in a relationship
But I still feel for you
'Cause you are the best woman
This old man has ever met
You taught me about my soul
You shared with me your magic
Don't want to be a thorn in your side, good woman
Always be the one to make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy, good woman
'Cause you deserve everything
And I got nothing, so leave me
And I'll go away, better off I stay
Far from you, you, you, you
'Cause you are beautiful
So betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught so many things about myself
And you know this is true
But now we are apart and it's all my fault
'Cause you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
So why can I share me with you girl or anyone?

So betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught me so many things about myself
And you know this is true
But now we are apart and it's all my fault
'Cause you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
So why can I share me with you girl or anyone?
Don't want to be a thorn in your side, good woman
Always be the one to make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy, good woman
'Cause you deserve everything
And I got nothing, so leave me
And I'll go away, better off I stay
Far from you, you, you, you, you
'Cause you are beautiful, beautiful woman
Now typical man, I am because you think
I want my cake and eat it too
'Cause say I can't be in a relationship
But I still feel for you
'Cause you are the best woman
This old man has ever met
You taught me about my soul
You shared with me your magic
Don't want to be a thorn in your side, good woman
Always be the one to make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy, good woman
'Cause you deserve everything
And I got nothing, so leave me
And I'll go away, better off I stay
Far from you, you, you, you
'Cause you are beautiful
So betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught so many things about myself
And you know this is true
But now we are apart and it's all my fault
'Cause you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
So why can I share me with you girl or anyone?
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman
So betterman I am, so betterman I am now
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman)
Because of you, betterman I am 'cause of you, 'cause of you
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman)
So sing it, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman
So betterman I am, so betterman I am
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman)
So betterman I am, so betterman I am
(Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman)
Because of you, you, you
(Beautiful, beautiful)
