Make It Better
Anderson .Paak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, carry on
Ooh, from the start
Somehow, we fell in love, then fell right out of touch
And ooh, that was hard
But ooh, here we are
And it's easier to walk away
Than to look for what would make you stay
Remember when we first met?
We were having so much fun
So, now, how can we both forget
Telling each other, "We're the one"?
We would make love (We would make love)
At the drop of a hat
Remember that?
(Yeah)
I remember you and me (You and me)
Close as any two can be (Two can be)
Now we're strangers in the night (Strangers)
Awkward in the tight
Oh baby, do you want to make it better?
Do you want to stay together?
Hey, if you do
Then let's please
Make some new
Memories
When you take somebody for your own
It can't survive on history alone
Meet me at the hotel, motel
Though we got a room at home
Go to a place that we don't know so well
It be nice, add a little spice
Try some new seduction
Show each other how
Give each other new instructions
On what makes us
Feel good
Now
I just wanna make you feel good now
Do you want to make it better?
Do you want to stay together?
And it's easier to run away
Than to look for what would make you stay
Do you want to make it better?
Do you want to stay together?
If you do
Then let's please
Make some new
Memories
Do you want to make it better?
Do you want to stay together?
If you do
Then let's please
Make some new
Memories
Do you want to make it better?
Do you want to stay together?
If you do
Then let's please
Make some new
Memories
Do you want to make it better?
Do you want to stay together?
The song "Make It Better" by Anderson .Paak revolves around the theme of reconciliation after a failed relationship. The lyrics describe two lovers who have drifted apart over time and are now reflecting on the things that made their relationship great initially. The lines "How do you mend when your worlds apart?" and "And it's easier to walk away, Than to look for what would make you stay" suggest that the couple is trying to figure out a way to repair the relationship, but it's not going to be easy.
The song also acknowledges that relationships need work and can't survive solely on past memories. Anderson .Paak sings "When you take somebody for your own, it can't survive on history alone" which highlights the importance of making new memories and experiences together. The chorus "Do you want to make it better? Do you want to stay together?" seems to be a plea to the partner to work together to make things right.
Overall, "Make It Better" is a heartfelt track that encourages people to put in the effort to fix their relationship rather than giving up and walking away.

"TO RIGHT:
To hate someome,
Is only for a day,
To love someone,
Its for ever!!
Forget your pride,
Say what you feel in your heart,
How stupid are we when it comes to love.
"The love i lost, was a sweat love,
