Treat You Better
Maddie Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know she's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I′m off
But I see it on your face
When you say that she's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop
Than she can
And any guy like you deserves a very best
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crime
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than she can
I′ll stop time for you
The second you say you′d like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to be next to you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do
Cause I know I can treat you better
Than she can
And any guy like you deserves a very best
Tell me why are we wasting time
And all on your wasted crime
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than she can
Better than she can
Give me a sign
Take my hand, we′ll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don′t
Have to do this alone
Oh I Promise I'll never let you down
I know I can treat you better
Than she can
And any guy like you deserves a very best
Tell me why are we wasting time
And all on your wasted crime
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than she can
Better than she can
Better than she can

Finally a girl's version that doesn't change to lyrics to make the person singing sound more selfish, the way she changed it to "guy like you deserves the best", is soooo much better than most female versions I've heard!
You go girl!
