Love You Better
Chris Brown & King Combs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I made it like that, I bought it like that, I'm livin' like that

Tell me how to make things right
'Cause I just need you in my life, girl (uh-huh)
I love you better than yourself (yeah, yeah)
Better than you love yourself (look)
I just need your lovin', baby (yeah)
Who gon' love you like I do? That's word (oh)
And all the times you confused, my words you don't listen (oh)
You could've had Christian and Christian Dior (yeah)
Now you just miss and I'm missin' you more (oh)
But you knew that, I'm the cool cat with the roof back (yeah)
Know I need you by my side, can't lose that (oh)
But you still wanna test the waters (yeah)
Like I never showed you jets and waters on the coast of Florida (yeah)
So why you wanna act like that? (Woo)
Like the nigga never had your back
His and hers to match
What's wrong, girl? Pick up the phone
Sayin', "You not home, nigga leave me alone" (woo)
But fuck it then, that's my word I'll never love again
Same time wantin' you back, I'm a sucker then (ooh, baby)
Coulda gave you my last name, you on some other shit
All 'cause your thought I was laid up with some other chick

Ooh, baby, tell me, tell me
Tell me how to make things right (how to make things right)
'Cause I just need you in my life ( I just need, I just need)
Girl, I love you better than yourself (I just need, I just need)
Better than you love yourself (better, ooh)
I just need your lovin' baby

Girl, I know you want me
Stop playin' this game with me
Girl, it's about that time
For you and I to get this right
Now lay your head on my bed
Then push in your face in the pillow
You remind me of my Jeep
So hop on it and just ride with me (ow)

Had me thinkin' everything was alright
Out of town, I was bookin' at flights
Come and chill for a night
'Cause when we together we be wildin' (uh-huh)
Out in Star Island
On a yacht, play our favorite album (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I know you still think about it (I know)
When the people doubted, I was the one that you stuck around with
Gettin' 'fetti, baby, come my way
Love my songs, every one I play, it's on my mind all day (word)
Late nights when I feel the pain
I messed up but I feel the same
Tell me who's to blame?
You just left like your Uber came
And you stressed, yeah, my mood just changed
I'm into coupes and things and you the only one that catch my eye
Matched my fly, chicks wave when I pass them by
But they don't catch my vibe like you do
My love is truthful without you girl to be crucial (yeah)

Tell me, tell me how to make things right (tell me how)
'Cause I just need you in my life (oh-oh)
Girl, I love you better than yourself (oh-oh)
Better than you love yourself (oh yeah)
I just need your lovin' baby (lovin' baby)

You're the only one for me
You're the only one I need
Can't nobody make me feel the way you're makin' me feel, no, no
Better than you loved yourself




Better than you loved yourself
I just need your lovin' baby
