Better Love

I was in for a penny, out for a pound

I was wearing a crown whenever you came around

I was blinded by glitter, shackled by gold

'Cause you had so many secrets that were never to be told

One day I found out about you, oh, the curtains were cleared

It was worse than I hoped for, it was worse than I feared

No, I wasn't your diamond, I was no precious thing

I was just another pearl on your endless string

You need to be much better, love

So I need to find a better love, better love

You ain't gon' get much better, love

Acting like that, be better, love, better, love

I should have cut all my losses, took my heart off my sleeve

'Cause you're like a thief, you nearly stole it from me

I let myself be so blinded by the twinkle in your eye

That I didn't even see you leaving me high and dry

One day I found out about you, oh, the curtains were cleared

It was worse than I hoped for, it was worse than I feared

No, I wasn't your diamond, I was no precious thing

I was just another pearl on a string

So you need to be much better, love

So I need to find a better love, better love

You ain't gon' get much better, love

Acting like that, be better, love, better, love

You need to be much better, love

So I need to find a better love, better love

You ain't gon' get much better, love

Acting like that, be better, love, better, love
