Isn’t that strange
‘Cause she been with a new man lately
Time for a change
Well I’ll treat you better
I’ll love you right
I’ll make you feel so damn good inside
I’ll do the things that he doesn’t know, oh
Yeah he won’t do you right, he won’t do you right
Like I do
Yeah he don’t know a thing about you, a thing about you
About you, bout you
You’ve kept me guessing for a while now
Imma need an answer
And if you need a reason to stay
Just know that
I’ll treat you better
I’ll love you right
I’ll make you feel so damn good inside
I’ll do the things that he doesn’t know, oh

The singer reflects on the fact that their partner has moved on to someone else, yet they believe they can offer a better love and a deeper understanding. The opening line, "She told me that she doesn't love me anymore, isn't that strange," shows the surprise and disbelief the singer feels upon learning this news. They find it puzzling because their connection seemed strong, and now the partner has found someone new.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's conviction that they can provide a superior love and understanding. They promise to treat the partner better, love them right, and make them feel good inside. The line, "I'll do the things that he doesn't know, oh," suggests that the singer is aware of the partner's hidden desires and can fulfill them in ways the new person cannot. It speaks to the idea of intimacy and knowing someone on a deeper level.
The second verse reveals the singer's desire for clarity and a decision from the partner. They express the need for an answer and try to persuade the partner to stay by assuring them of their love and commitment. The repetition of "I'll treat you better, I'll love you right" reinforces the singer's determination to be the one who can fulfill the partner's needs.
Overall, "About You" captures the emotions of longing, confusion, and the belief in being the one who truly understands and loves the partner.
