[Verse 1]
You needed to go and let him know right now (right now)
'Cause he don't even know how to make you smile
Y'all don't even makin' love, see it's over baby
He spend all his night at the strip club (strip club)
When what he got at home girl is real love (real love)
I'm nothing like him
You need to leave him
Baby, yea yea oh...

[Chorus]
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody new
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody who
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody,
Who can love you better, I can love you better (Go ahead baby)
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody new (Yeah Yeah girl)
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody who (Go and tell your man)
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody,
Who can love you better, I can love you better

[Verse 2]
Don't mean a thing, your house, your car, your ring (Oh)
That's just material things baby, seems that's what she?s on about
I'll be with you there's no doubt (no baby)
And I'll give you every little bit of my love
And I'll give you every part of my life
But you need to leave her, if you are the real one

[Chorus]
Go and tell your, (Go and tell your girl... Yeah)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody new (You've found somebody new baby)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody who (Who can love you better)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody, (Oh Yeah)
Who can love you better (Baby)
Who can love you better (Listen to me)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody new (I can love you)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody who (Oh I wanna tell you baby)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody,
Who can love you better (Who can love you better baby)
Who can love you better


[Verse 3]
The feeling's mutual between us
And what we have is so strong (So strong)
But I don't want to put us through this
But if we want real love, we gotta do it

My heart is on your line and I'm running out of time and
I don't wanna make myself a victim of this, babe
I don't wanna make this harder than it has to be
(Tell your girl) (Tell your man)
(Imma tell my boyfriend)

[Chorus]
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody new (I'm gonna tell my man that)
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody who
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody, (ain't no room for love here no more cause I found somebody new who can love me better)
Who can love you better
Who can love you better
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody new
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody who (All this time)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody, (but I gotta tell you)
Who can love you better
Who can love you better

[Chorus]
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody new (Oh oh)
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody who (tell him right now, right now)
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody,
Who can love you better
Who can love you better (I can love you better, baby)
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody new
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody who
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody,
Who can love you better
Who can love you better

Go and tell your man that you've found somebody new
Go and tell your girl that you've found somebody who
Go and tell your man that you've found somebody,
Who can love you better
Who can love you better

Who can love you like me, nobody!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Love You Better" by Keith Sweat and Keyshia Cole speak of a love triangle where the singer is in love with someone who is in a relationship with someone else. It seems like the person she is with is neglectful and doesn't treat her right as she needs. The singer urges her to break free from this negative situation that is not making her happy and to go and tell her partner that she has found somebody who can love her better. The third verse talks about how strong the feelings are between the two protagonists, but the situation is getting harder, and time is running out.


The overall message of the song is that if someone is not treating you right, it's better to move on and find someone who can love you the way you deserve to be loved. The song encourages individuals to be upfront, honest, and to take control of their destiny to find true love.

I love this song. Keith makes great duets with women. This song should have been huge. It is a perfect example of how a great song can go unnoticed if not properly promoted.

A'She Wilson

They need to make more music together ♥️🔥💪

Otis Blue

This song is the absolute truth & always has been. He officialized Keyshia with this one. This hit different than anything on the radio in 2021/2022. Real vocalists!
