Better
Gabe Bondoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hes the kind of guy, who would lie,
Through his teeth when he needs to fake it
And hell make you smile for a while,
Till he needs someone new he could play with
I will always be the boy that youd play with in the street
If youd treat me just like all the little boys that youd meet
So dont you do it,
No, dont be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say this,
He aint human, (oh no)
Aint your better half, (no no)
Youd see who is if you choose me
Well Im no him but hes no me,
Im better
Ohh well Im better baby
Yeah Im so sure if you choose me youll see it,
Ohh youll see it girl
Not just the boy that you had grown up with,
Now Im the man you should come and be with,
Well I know I aint him girl but,
He aint me.
He aint me
2:
Look hes got a gift make you feel like hes it,
So much charm its blinding
Sure the grass is green, that dont mean,
That there aint any snakes in hiding.
I wanna be the guy who can sweep you off your feet
Give you all the love I know you feel in your dreams
But I may not have swag but girl I know that Ive got heart
So dont you do it,
No, dont be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say this,
He aint human, (oh no)
Aint your better half, (no no)
Youd see who is if you choose me
Well Im no him but hes no me,
Im better
Ohh well Im better baby
Well Im so sure if you choose me youll see it,
Ohh youll see it girl
Not just the boy that you had grown up with,
Now Im the man you should come and be with,
Well I know I aint him girl but,
He no me
Falling so easy when youre not looking,
Oh well I hope youre looking cause
Dont take too much
For you to loose your footing
Well now, Im always there to catch if you lose your step
But you dont have to fall and known as better yet
Well I know I aint him girl
No, Im glad I aint
Dont be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say this,
He aint human, (oh no)
Aint your better half, (no no)
Youd see who is if you choose me
Well Im no him but hes no me,
Im better
Ohh well Im better baby
Im so sure if you choose me youll see it,
Ohh youll see it girl
Not just the boy that you had grown up with,
Now Im the man you should come and be with,
Well I know I aint him girl but,
He aint me
No, he aint me
Gabe Bondoc's song "Better" tells a story about a man who is interested in a girl who is involved with someone else. The person she is involved with is described as someone who lies, fakes his feelings, and plays with girls like toys until he finds someone new. The singer, on the other hand, claims to be someone who would treat her well and provide her with sincerity and love. He admits that he may not have swag, but he knows he has a good heart. The chorus repeats the title of the song, where he insists that he is the better choice.
Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes the idea that the girl deserves better and tries to convince her to choose him over the other guy. He describes how the other person is manipulative, with charms that are blinding, and that there may be hidden motives behind his actions. The singer claims to be the one who can sweep the girl off her feet, be there for her if she loses her step, and ultimately be the better choice.
Overall, the singer is trying to convince the girl that she deserves better than what she currently has and that he can provide her with that. The song highlights the importance of being genuine and sincere in a relationship and how it is better to have someone who truly cares about you rather than someone who is just playing games.

No, he aint me
He can never be like me.
