Better Man Lyrics
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord i fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
As my soul
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
Go easy on my conciense
Cos it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame
Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain
As my soul
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
Once you've found that lover you're home bound
Love is all around, love is all around
I know some have fallen on stoney ground
But love is all around
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe & warm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I feel the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
As my soul
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord i fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
Cos it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
Love is all around, love is all around
I know some have fallen on stoney ground
But love is all around
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe & warm
In pouring rain
Lord I feel the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man

Robbie is the biggest star in the UK but he is pretty notorious for his feelings of self loathing and self doubt. I remember him saying the story behind this song is that he was on a beach, and he asked the spirit of John Lennon to help him write a song. The result was this song, which he wrote in half an hour.
This song reminds me of that special friend.I REALLY MISS YOU=)
This song is about Robbie trying to stop blaming himself about his past and get on with his life trying to be a 'better man' as he gave up drink and drugs. I also noticed the line 'Rest assured my angels' meaning no matter how bad some of his songs are he can always depend on 'angels' probably his most famous song. Never noticed this before just thought it was quite interesting, anyone else agree?
I think Robbie went thru a lot of hard times as famous star but now he's learnt to deal with stardom and finally at peace with himself. He doesn't blame himself for his mistakes anymore and is trying to be a 'better man'. Very inspirational.
The meaning of this song really inspire me a lot.its very meaningful.
I think this song is more than anyone loves . Full of emotions , although i don't pretty like him . This song reminds me of my ex-girlfriend that she used to love me . Maybe i never tried to be a better man .
this is about his fight with drinking and drugs and womanising and how he is trying to be a better man...ahhhh beautiful
it seems to me that all the really depressing songs of robbie williams are heaps better than the others. compare this with radio.
I love this song, but I do love Radio too. So catchy!
shut up, anyone is free to call their songs the way they want!. And this is a very simple and sincere song...about struggling to get over his past, his unhealthy behaviour..."Feel I'm getting old before my time" :(
