Do Better

If I knew better I would do better for you babe Wish I knew better Then I wouldn't make the same mistakes Late nights you up and I ain't home still No text, my phone goin' to voicemail Your inner thoughts sayin' you need To be goin' soon i got the nerve to come In smellin' like perfume Damn, is it really that I'm mixed up? I'm thin like I lost somethin' At the strip club Still playin' but my conscious Yellin' grow up Like a job, it's so hard to get a hoes up Never thought that I ever would need a woman The truth is I never learned How to treat a woman And I don't really know what it's Like to be a woman but all I know one day my Daughter's gon' be a woman Can't lie, I'm a dog, I'm a cheater Apologize for the times I mistreat you And I keep sayin' sorry, you like whatever Don't want you to leave but I know you deserve better If I knew better I would do better for you babe Wish I knew better Then I wouldn't make the same mistakes Oh, if I knew, if I knew, if only I knew Then I would do better, better Better for you Yeah, and I know you don't relate to The kind of pain I'm in Battlin' my demons, just the ways of men Good girl at home but these Hoes ain't playin' fair Fightin' temptation Keep me inside your prayers I hate to see you hurt That's true for what it's worth And please never blame yourself For all my dirt, hey I know you tired but you holdin' on What'd I do Turned around and still do you wrong Never too big to say I'm sorry To the women in my life That had abortions by me Wasn't able to be the man you needed This life girl, I wasn't ready to leave it (you know it's true) Your friends say why you takin' that? They tell you to leave Don't ever take him back I keep sayin' sorry, you like whatever Don't want you to leave but I know you deserve better If I knew better I would do better for you babe Wish I knew better Then I wouldn't make the same mistakes Oh, if I knew, if I knew, if only I knew Then I would do better, better Better for you
