Saw you just the other day
I didn’t have the nerve to say
But I could never get you off my mind

I had to stare a little while
I caught you looking back and smiled
Wished that I could hold you one more time

'Cause I wanna love you so much better
Be the man who you need me to be
Slow and easy like the river flows to the other side
Give me one more chance to get it right
Gonna love you better this time

Remember when we used to laugh
About my left feet when you made me dance
You had to get me drunk to make me try

We didn’t need a place to go
We’d order in and watch videos
Steel Magnolias always made you cry

Girl, I wanna love you so much better
Be the man who you need me to be
Slow and easy like the river flows to the other side
Give me one more chance to get it right
I'm gonna love you better this time

Honey, I’ll do what it takes
Girl, I’ve paid for my mistakes
Give me one more chance
To help you change your mind

I can’t buy back yesterday
But believe me when I say
Heaven holds a place for a love like yours and mine
I’m gonna love you better this time

I wanna love you so much better
Be the man who you need me to be
Slow and easy like the river flows to the other side
Give me one more chance to get it right
I'm gonna love you better this time

I'm gonna love you better this time
Gonna love you better
