Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanted me to love
Mustard on the beat, ho
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Pull up on your girl with my roof gone
I'mma pull up on your girl with my jewels on
Pull up on your girl with that heat on
And she ain't know if it's a Dolla or a Dream song
First I beat it from the back, she on top now
She used to wanna leave, but she not now
She used to wanna be with you, but nigga, not now
It's kinda funny how she put herself on lockdown
And now you talkin' that blah-blah-blah
I'm up here ballin' that la-la-la
Gave it to her, made her scream, "Da-da-da"
And now you wanna act all rah-rah-rah rah-rah-rah
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Girl, you should know that
I'mma fall asleep in it, popped a whole Xan
If you gettin' cold feet, I'll make the snow sand
I'mma rest in peace in it, pop a toe tag
Pull up on it in an Uber, that's how I maneuver
Turn this D into a D+ and I'm a tutor
Turn a B into a D cup, hallelujah
Got her clappin', yeah she booby-trappin' out of Hooter's
Treat the little lollipop like Lallapalooza
I'm the one to introduce her, Kama to Sutra
Say she a cougar when it comes to Young Mula
12 gauge, girl, Tunechi 'bout to one-two ya
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, oh
No he can't love you
Oh, he can't love you, love you, love you like I do
Oh, no he can't love you
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Ty Dolla $ign's song "Love U Better" features lyrics that revolve around the artist professing his ability to love a woman better than her current partner. The repetitive hooks that lay emphasis on his ability to love her better suggests that he has gained enough knowledge about the woman’s needs and wants to be a better partner than her current one. This is amplified by his statement “Girl, you should know that I'mma fall asleep in it, popped a whole Xan/ If you gettin' cold feet, I'll make the snow sand/ I'mma rest in peace in it, pop a toe tag/ Pull up on it in an Uber, that's how I maneuver.” Here, he speaks of his willingness to both protect and pleasure her. The use of the metaphor “rest in peace” highlights his willingness to be a permanent presence in her life, while “popped a whole Xan” showcases his capacity to care for her, even during moments of vulnerability.
The lyrics elaborate further on his courting process which involves showering her with gifts and spoiling her. For instance, he delivers the line “Pull up on your girl with my roof gone/ I'mma pull up on your girl with my jewels on/ Pull up on your girl with that heat on” showcases his desire to impress her with his status and wealth. The line “And now you talkin' that blah-blah-blah/ I'm up here ballin' that la-la-la” is his response to her previous partner’s complaints about his lavish behavior. The song ends on the note that the woman he is courting should know that she deserves to be loved better.

Pull up on your girl with my roof gone
I'mma pull up on your girl with my jewels on
Pull up on your girl with that heat on
And she ain't know if it's a Dolla or a Dream song
I arrived with an open roof, wearing flashy jewelry, and playing music so good that she couldn't tell if it was me or another popular artist named Dream.
First I beat it from the back, she on top now
She used to wanna leave, but she not now
She used to wanna be with you, but nigga, not now
It's kinda funny how she put herself on lockdown
And now you talkin' that blah-blah-blah
I'm up here ballin' that la-la-la
Gave it to her, made her scream, "Da-da-da"
And now you wanna act all rah-rah-rah rah-rah-rah
I started the sexual encounter with her from behind, and now she's on top. She used to want to leave, but now she's staying with me. She no longer wants to be with you, and it's amusing how her actions put her in this situation. You're talking a lot, but I'm living my best life. I made her moan in pleasure, and now you want to create drama.
Girl, you should know that
I'mma fall asleep in it, popped a whole Xan
If you gettin' cold feet, I'll make the snow sand

Pull up on it in an Uber, that's how I maneuver
You should know that I can handle sex really well. I take Xanax to help me relax and fall asleep after sexual activity. I will make sure you're comfortable if you're nervous. I will have sex with you until I die, literally. I will come to you in an Uber for sex.
Turn this D into a D+ and I'm a tutor
Turn a B into a D cup, hallelujah
Got her clappin', yeah she booby-trappin' out of Hooter's
Treat the little lollipop like Lallapalooza

I can improve your sex life. I can make your grade from a D to a D+. I can increase your breast size from a B to a D cup. I had sex with a woman at a Hooter's restaurant, making her scream with pleasure. I treated her private area like the Lallapalooza music festival, providing great pleasure. I introduced her to new sexual positions, such as the Kama Sutra. She likes younger men, also known as cougars. I am a great lover and will treat her right.
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, oh
A moment of musical interlude.
No he can't love you
Oh, he can't love you, love you, love you like I do
Oh, no he can't love you
Comparing my love to the love of the person you are currently with, my love is stronger and more intense.
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Girl you should know that I can love you
Better than he can
Reiterating that I can love you better than the person you are currently with.
