Do Better
Uninvtd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My dawgs invite me over
You call I don't go over
You call I don't go
Might loose you so I hold you closer
I stand over your shoulder I wonder who you texting
She told me that she is leaving
And my flesh don't wanna see her go
Heal me Lord, Heal me
I made a fake profile to see to what your looking at
To see who your looking for
I wanna know if I'm the only one
I wanna know should I keep holding on
(Should I keep holding on?)
You can't steal my joy
You can't be no idol to me
No you can't
Not just for myself, not just for my health
I got to do better
Better better better
Better better better
I got to do better
Better better better
Better better better
Call it an obsession
Call it what you want
Call it a lesson
It's like your the air that I breathe
It's taking it's toll on me
Always going through your phone
Just to see if I'm your one & only
Got me feeling so indifferent
My family thinks I'm trippin'
Heal me Lord, Heal meeeeee
Peace to the one I love
Peace to the the one I trusted
Father come cleanse me, cleanse me, cleanse me
I know it's unhealthy
It's unhealthy
You can't steal my joy
You can't be no idol to me
No you can't
Not just for myself, not just for my health
I got to do better
Better better better
Better better better
I got to do better
Better better better
Better better better
The lyrics to Uninvtd's song "Do Better" express the internal struggle and turmoil of a person who is deeply in love with someone else but constantly finds themselves questioning if they are truly the only one. The opening lyrics "I keep choosing you over everybody else" indicate that the person is invested in this relationship but as the song progresses, we learn about the insecurity that plagues them. The lines "I made a fake profile to see to what you’re looking at/To see who you’re looking for" show how the singer is unable to trust their partner and feels compelled to constantly check and verify their loyalty. The fear of losing their loved one is also evident in the line "Might lose you so I hold you closer".
The refrain in the song "I got to do better" suggests that the singer understands that their actions are unhealthy and they want to break free from their obsessive behavior. The lines "Peace to the one I love/Peace to the one I trusted/Father come cleanse me, cleanse me, cleanse me" indicate that the person wants to move on from their past and cleanse themselves of their unhealthy attachment. The chorus, "You can't steal my joy/You can't be no idol to me" shows the determination of the singer to be strong and move on from the hold that their partner has on them.
Overall, "Do Better" is a raw and honest portrayal of the inner turmoil of someone who is struggling to hold onto a relationship that is plagued by fear and uncertainty.
