Treat You Better
09. Shawn Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop
I know I can treat you better
Than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted cryin'
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can
I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do
'Cause I know I can treat you better
Than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted cryin'
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can
Better than he can
Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down
'Cause I know I can treat you better
Than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted cryin'
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can (can, oh)
Better than he can
Better than he can
The song "Treat You Better" by Shawn Mendes is about a man who sees that the girl he loves is not happy with her current boyfriend. He knows that he can treat her better than her current partner and wants her to realize that she deserves better. He begins by telling her that he knows her boyfriend is not the right fit for her and that she can tell him if he is wrong. He believes that he can treat her better and that any girl like her deserves a gentleman. He questions why she is wasting her time in a wrong situation when she could be with him instead.
The chorus emphasizes that he can treat her better and asks her why they are wasting time when they could be together. He promises to be there for her and stop time for her if she likes. He just wants to give her the love she deserves, and he knows that this relationship could be different. He asks for a sign and promises never to let her down.

So I just got my first girlfriend (Im a junior, shes a freshmen) and as
soon as I showed her this song, she started to cry when she watched the
music video. Now it's basically "our" song. We've been dating for a
month and we're always making references about this song and having fun
with it. Now what she doesn't know right now is I'm going to be
perforimng this song for her at this talent-show-like thing at my school
with a couple of my friends. Hoping you all can wish me luck as the
performance is in like 3 weeks haha. Let me know if you guys want me to
post the video when it happens because I will be happy to do so! Hahaha
