"Better Man Than That" lyrics - CHRIS HILLMAN & HERB PEDERSEN

I know you're up at night
Cause I hear you walking
When you gently close the door
We should be talking

I want to get to you
(but baby once again)
I get to feeling useless
So I pretend

Chorus:
I've got to be a better man than that
I swear I'll listen and I won't talk back
I've got to hold you closer than I do
I've got to be a better man to you

I know you need my love
But it's so hard to show
What's in my heart I keep locked up
Can't let go

So hear me when I say
I'll always love you
I won't hold anything
Above you

I'm the kind of guy
As stubborn as can be
Keeps it all inside
I make you pull it out of me
