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

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

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

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

But what else can I do

To make it up to you

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

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
