"Love Me Better" lyrics - JAMES BLUNT

People say the meanest things
Yeah, I've been called a dick, I've been called so many things
I know I've done some shit that I admit deserves it
But that...that don't mean it doesn't sting
Saw you standing outside a bar
Would have said "you're beautiful"
But I've used that line before
Now I've had my share of shallow nights
'Cause I was scared to get it right
So I was hanging with whoever

[Chorus 1:]
But baby then you...
You love, love, love me, love me better
You love, love, love me, love me better
There's been times I gave myself
To someone else, to someone lesser than you
Love, love, love me, love me better

Love me better

When I met you I was treading water
And baby I know you know I got an eye that wanders
But right now in this car that we're driving to your sister's
All I'm lookin' for is something that's forever

[Chorus 2:]
Baby then you...
You love, love, love me, love me better
You love, love, love me, love me better
There've been people that I've loved before
But they were something lesser, 'cause you...
Love, love, love me, love me better

[Post-Chorus:]
Love me
Love me better
Love me
Love me better

[Bridge:]
People say the meanest things
Yeah, but truth be told, I don't care what they think
I got someone who is lying in my bed right next to me
Yeah she...love, love, loves me
Love, love, loves me... loves me better

Love me better

[Outro:]
There's been times I gave myself
To someone else, to someone lesser than you
Love, love, love me, love me better
