"Better For You"
Words and Music by Michael B. Hicks
Michael B. Hicks Music, BMI © 2012

I may pray almost everyday
And I try to live life the right way
I like to try to buy you nice gifts
But every now and then, I'm kind of hit and miss

I make sure that the bills are paid
But every now and then, I may be a day late
And when it comes to sticking to the plan
I try to do the best that I can

I want to be better...better...better...in all that I do
I want to be better...better...better...better for you

I like to show you how much I care
Although sometimes I'm nonchalantly there
And I like to stay on top of everything
But sometimes I'm surprised by what life brings
And your feelings I'm dying to know
But every now and then I miss the little signs that you show
And though I really hate to see you cry
It hurts even worse when the blame is all mine

I want to be better...better...better...in all that I do
I want to be better...better...better...better for you
