leon bridges – better man (live at sxsw 2015) lyrics
[verse 1]
i don’t want much
i just wanna be a better man
to my baby, mm+mm
meet me off for good luck
i was hanging with them jezebels
under perfume sheets, mm+mm
got a golden smile, and a heart overflowing (doo+wop, doo+wop, doo+wop, doo+wop)
but got us in love, but it wasn’t enough (doo+wop, doo+wop, doo+wop, doo+wop)
[chorus]
what can i do? what can i do?
to get back to your heart
i’d swim the mississippi river
if you would give me another start, girl
[saxophone solo]
[verse 2]
all night long i was out (doo+wop, doo+wop)
out ’til the morning (doo+wop, doo+wop)
but baby, you’re tender (doo+wop, doo+wop)
lost when i’m longing (doo+wop, doo+wop)
baby please, i’m down on my knees begging (doo+wop, doo+wop, doo+wop, doo+wop)
ooh, i thirst for you, girl (doo+wop, doo+wop)
baby, i’m running to your well (doo+wop, doo+wop)
[chorus]
what can i do? what can i do?
to get back to your heart
i’d swim the mississippi river
if you would give me another start, girl
[instrumental break]
[chorus]
what can i do? what can i do?
to get back to your heart
i’d swim the mississippi river
what can i do? what can i do?
to get back to your heart
i’d swim the mississippi river
if you would give me another start, girl
[outro]
where all my brown+skinned girls at?
this next one for you
here we go
