Do Better - Intellectual

[Intro: Stacy Barthe]

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
