[Verse 1] Well, I've always been such a stubborn man and it's made me regret Each time I thought I found love it left It only takes a second, just a moment to wait But it's hard enough, just to find someone, you can be yourself with Guess what I'm trying to tell you is Please don't be so quick to go, oh come back and stay [Chorus] And what I say is, that I'm just trying to do the right thing To be a better man And I don't wanna keep on hurting you, all over and over again I've had enough of old mistakes now I'm gonna tell you to your face now I'm just trying to do my best To be a better man [Verse 2] Now when the music stops and the lights go out, will you still be here? Come rest your head on my shoulder, dear It only takes a second, just a moment to wait Now I've been afraid, but that's no excuse for all this heartbreak Some say you lay in the bed you make Don't let me lie here alone baby, oh come back today [Chorus] Cause what I say is, that I'm just trying to do the right thing To be a better man And I don't wanna keep on hurting you, all over and over again I've had enough of old mistakes now I'm gonna tell you to your face now I'm just trying to do my best To be a better man, oh [Bridge] But what else can I do To make it up to you? [Chorus 2] Ooh, I'm just trying to do the right thing To be a better man And I don't wanna keep on hurting you, all over and over and over I've had enough of old mistakes now I'm gonna tell you to your face now I'm just trying to do my best To be a better man [Outro] All over and over and over I've had enough of old mistakes now I'm gonna tell you to your face now I'm just trying to do my best To be a better man
