Better Than Me
Dexter Terry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess you can say that I've been watching you
I see the things that she put you through
Wouldn't take it if I were you, no
Baby, I cannot pretend
So where do I begin?
I'm trying to be that friend
Do you think that she'll love you better than me
Kiss you better than me
Touch you better than me
Hold you better than me
Flex you better than me
Sex you better than me
Boy, you better believe
I'll be everything that you need
Baby, can't you see that she
Don't appreciate a thing?
I'm trying to get you to see
That you need to be with me
So what's the move?
Do you want me like I want you?
I just wanna be that friend
So let me ask you again
Do you think that she'll love you better than me
Kiss you better than me
Touch you better than me
Hold you better than me
Flex you better than me
Sex you better than me
Boy, you better believe
I'll be everything that you need
Do you think that she'll love you better than me
Kiss you better than me
Touch you better than me
Hold you better than me
Flex you better than me
Sex you better than me
Boy, you better believe
I'll be everything that you need
She is not right so I can't see why
Why you continue to waste your time
She is not tight, when will you realize
Baby, that I do you right?
Do you think that she'll love you better than me
Kiss you better than me
Touch you better than me
Hold you better than me
Flex you better than me
Sex you better than me
Boy, you better believe
I'll be everything that you need
Do you think that she'll love you better than me
Kiss you better than me
Touch you better than me
Hold you better than me
Flex you better than me
Sex you better than me
Boy, you better believe
I'll be everything that you need
Everything, everything you need
Do you think that she'll love you better than me
Kiss you better than me
Touch you better than me
Hold you better than me
Flex you better than me
Sex you better than me
Boy, you better believe
I'll be everything that you need
Love you better than me
No, than me, than me
Flex you better than me
Oh yeah
The lyrics of Dexter Terry's "Better Than Me" convey the story of a woman who has her sights set on a man who is currently in a relationship. She knows that the man is being mistreated by his current girlfriend and believes that she could treat him better. In the song, the woman is trying to convince the man to leave his current girlfriend and start a new relationship with her.
The lyrics display the woman's confidence as she presents herself as a better option for the man. She is confident in her ability to love, hold, kiss, touch and even flex and sex the man better than his current girlfriend. The chorus repeats the line, "Do you think that she'll love you better than me?" which emphasizes the woman's belief that the man's girlfriend is not capable of providing him with the love and care he deserves.
Ultimately, the woman acknowledges that the decision is up to the man, but she strongly believes that he deserves better than his current situation. The song captures the thoughts, feelings and desires of someone who wants to be with someone they truly care for and feel a strong connection with.
