Love Me Better
Trey Songz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sex ain't better than love (oh)
Sex ain't, sex ain't (oh) better than love

I been outchea in these streets and I done learned
Every girl I gave my loving too was only a substitute
I been outchea in these streets and I done learned
Even though she's in my arms this ain't where my heart belongs
Sex in the air, no lovin' here
Soon as I get through, I'm outta there
And it feels so bad but it feels so good
Wishing I could care girl I never could
But then I fell into your love
Didn't let me touch the ground
Now I see it clear that your heart is there
And all these other women they just can't compare girl I know

Sex ain't better than love
I been outchea in these streets and I done learned
Sex ain't better than love
I done seen it all done done it all so much better when you fall
Sex ain't better than love
Girl you've been my teacher and I've learned that
Sex ain't better than love
Sex ain't, sex ain't, sex ain't better than love

Feelings I thought that I would never have
Oh I'm so open and I got it bad
I gotcha now and imma make it last
She says my baby she can't wait to have
Love in the air never been so clear
So beautiful, bring yo' body here
Let me fall into your love
I wanna hear the lovely sound
Let me take my time while we in this bed
You were made for me and I don't wanna share girl I know

Sex ain't better than love
I been outchea in these streets and I done learned
Sex ain't better than love
I done seen it all done done it all so much better when you fall
Sex ain't better than love
Girl you've been my teacher and I've learned that
Sex ain't better than love
Sex ain't, sex ain't, sex ain't better than love

Don't you ever leave, baby girl I need need you love to breathe
Never been so good to me, I was blinded but now I see because

Sex ain't better than love
I been outchea in these streets and I done learned (that no no)
Sex ain't better than love
I done seen it all done done it all so much better when you fall
Sex ain't better than love (sex ain't sex ain't)
Girl you've been my teacher and I've learned that
Sex ain't better than love
Sex ain't, sex ain't, sex ain't better than love

Sex ain't better than love
Sex ain't better than love
Sex ain't better than love
Sex ain't better than love

Girl you've been my teacher and I've learned that




Sex ain't better than love
Sex ain't, sex ain't, sex ain't better than love
