Q&A
You're My Better Half Lyrics
Car door slams, it's been a long day at work
I'm out on the freeway and I'm wondering if it's all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn't seem fair
I pull into the drive and you're standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
Chorus:
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that's a lie
'Cause when it comes to you I'd rather have you by my side
You don't know how much I count you to help me
When I've given everything I got and I just feel like giving in
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you me tight
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Well, you take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and I understand
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe that we can make it through anything
Oh baby, it's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
Oh, oh baby you're my better half
Ooh, hey baby you're my better half
I'm out on the freeway and I'm wondering if it's all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn't seem fair
I pull into the drive and you're standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
But I think that's a lie
'Cause when it comes to you I'd rather have you by my side
You don't know how much I count you to help me
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you me tight
Yeah you pull me close and I understand
That makes me believe that we can make it through anything
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
Ooh, hey baby you're my better half

Just another good song about the one you love. Good song and Keith Urban is CMT's number one hottest country singer..lol
This is a great song. Keith Urban's music always inspires me to live life to its fullest!
He is sooo hot!!!!!! This is one of the best songs to send to someone u love. ''hint''
Keith's the man, great song. Pretty sure thats what all of us guys want. Someone to come home to and give us that "Come here baby smile"
I love Keith Urban. One of country music's best newest artists EVER. Kudos to him on yet another great song.
This song appears to have a double meaning. If you read the lyrics again carefully you will see that it is actually about a secret crossdresser who, after a long hard days work, likes nothing better than to come home and pull on his specially made large-crouched women's underwear and don his best frock. His ‘better half’ is simply a metaphor for his feminine side, which he feels a lot more comfortable with than the façade he puts on for the outside world. Very deep song indeed.
Wow, you have a lot of free time. I admire your thoughts, but I'd actually prefer to think that it wasn't about a crossdresser. But that's just me. :D Plus, it doesn't exactly fit. How come his "better half" loves him so much?? Sounds kinda freaky.
another good one form keith urban..he has some of the best love songs ever...i mean..raining on sunda, my better half, youll think of me, memories of us..this guy is every gurls dream come tru..by the way nice take onthe cross dressing but no, i dont think you quite have it! :P
OMG if i could marry him i would. I love his songs there so good.and ya i honestly don't think it has anything to do with being a crossdresser.
One, I think the whole "crossdresser" thing is rediculous. Its quite obvious he's talking about the woman he loves. I think its an insult to Keith Urban, one of the most inspiring country singers to be called a crossdresser! I mean, I have nothing against crossdressers but seriously think for a second, he's getting married, of course he's not a crossdresser!
This song is about Keith coming home from work and being tired, and he feels happy that his wife/girl-friend is there to comfort him. He's basically saying he loves her so much she's like his better half. THAT is the meaning of the song and I found it very obvious.
