Better Than You lyrics

(Terri Clark/Dickey Lee)

At a table for two with a romantic view,
He said: `There`s somethin` that you need to know.
`I don`t usually date, so if I hesitate,
`It`s that I`m takin` it slow.`
He said: `Darlin`, I don`t want to hurt you,`
As he gently reached out for her hand.
She laughed as she picked up her menu,
And said: `Mister, you don`t understand.

`I`ve been loved, I`ve been left.
`I`ve been wronged by the best.
`I`ve had hopes that were shattered in two.
`I`ve heard promises spoken,
`I`ve had dreams left so broken,
`There was no chance they`d ever come true.
`It ain`t easy to see by looking at me,
`But there`s no hell I haven`t walked through.
`If you`re worried, that`s fine,
`But this heart of mine`s,
`Been broken by better than you.`

When dinner was done, she said: `I had fun.`
As they walked to her door, he smiled.
`He said: `It`s only ten, could I come in?
`Maybe we could just talk for a while.`
She said: `Honey, I know what you`re after,
`And as much as I`d like you to stay.
`Nothing good ever lasted,
`When it gets started that way.`

`I`ve been loved, I`ve been left.
`I`ve been wronged by the best.
`I`ve had hopes that were shattered in two.
`I`ve heard promises spoken,
`I`ve had dreams left so broken,
`There was no chance they`d ever come true.
`It ain`t easy to see but take it from me,
`There`s no hell I haven`t walked through.
`An` I won`t cross that line,
``Cause this heart of mine`s,
`Been broken by better than you.`

`No I won`t cross that line,
``Cause this heart of mine`s,
`Been broken by better than you.`
