Better Man

I’m a small man

Next to a tall man

But baby I’m all man

When I’m with you

And I’m a fooled man

Compared to a schooled man

But I feel so enlightened

Just studying your smile

And I don’t care how small I stand

I don’t plan on measuring

Cause when you love me as I am

Baby I’m a better man

I’m a frail man

I ain’t no fairy tale man

But because you accept that

I almost forget that

I’m bruised and I’m broken

And I’m an exposed man

Though I do some composing

But I ain’t got a five or ten year plan

And I ain’t got no, no back pockets

And it don’t matter where I’ve been

Where I wasn’t going

Cause when you love me where I am

Baby I’m a better man

And you love me the way I am

For reasons I don’t understand

And your love is so much better than

Any kind of thing I could be earning

Now I don’t care how small I stand

I don’t plan on comparing

Cause you have loved me just as I am

And that makes me a better man

Now I’m a small man

Next to a tall man

But baby I’m all man

When I’m with you
