[Intro: HOPE]
Ayy, ayy, ayy
First I saw you, ayy
Then I liked you, ayy
Now I love you, uh
Now I fight you, uh
If I could do better
Then you could better too
But I don't want better
It only gets better with you
[Verse 1: HOPE]
My gut told me "stay and leave"
Now that's a crazy way to start a verse, ain't it?
Uh, I got advice from both Jay and Steve
My business needs me focused, this focus is what I need
Baby, we don't need to chop it up, darling, we need to cleave
Instead of yelling, fussing loud, cussing in the street
So grow the fuck up one time, my baby, please
Know this pride is gon' kill us and your friends don't feel us but
[Chorus: Jhené]
If I could do better
Then you can do better too
But I don't want better
'Cause I'm only better with you
If you could do better
Then I can do better too
But I don't need better
It only gets better with you
[Verse 2: Jhené]
If I am your rib then you are my shoulder
I'll be your rock 'cause you are my boulder
When we're together, they can't stop both us
They can't stop both us
They, they, they can't stop both us
And my only plans with you are
A one life stand with you
The wrong that keeps me right and
The light that keeps me guided
Ooh, whoa, oh
[Chorus: Jhené]
If I could do better
Then you can do better too
But I don't want better
'Cause I'm only better with you
If you could do better
Then I can do better too
But I don't need better
It only gets better with you
[Bridge: HOPE]
In a relationship she wants three things
Eyes that won't cry, uh
Lips that won't lie
Love that won't die
In a relationship she wants three things
Eyes that won't cry, uh-huh
Lips that won't lie, uh
Love that won't die
In a relationship she wants three things
Eyes that won't cry (One)
Lips that won't lie (Two, three)
Love that won't die
In a relationship she wants three things
Eyes that won't cry (Just give 'em to her)
Lips that won't lie (Just give 'em to her)
Love that won't die
[Verse 3: HOPE]
I want you more than anything, believe this shit or not
I'm your rock, I'm your black knight, baby, I'm your Pac
I'm your Clyde, you my Bonnie, murder mami from the spot
We gon' make it through the rough patch and make it to the top, baby
See, you my real, future mother of my kids
I know you gon' forgive me for the dumb shit I did
You know I'm gon' forgive you for the dumb shit you did
One love, one heart, but you need new friends, take that witcha
[Chorus: Jhené]
If I could do better
Then you can do better too
But I don't want better
'Cause I'm only better with you
If you could do better
Then I can do better too (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I don't need better
It only gets better with you
[Post-Chorus: HOPE]
