Betterman Lyrics

Betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught so many things about myself
and you know this is true
but now we are apart and its all my fault
cos you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
so how can I share me with you girl or anyone

Don't want to be a thorn in your side
good woman
Always be the one
to make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy
Good woman
cos you deserve everything
and I got nothing so leave me
and i'll go away better off I stay
Far from you,
because you are beautiful

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

Now typical man
I am because you think
I want my cake and eat it too
Cos say I can't be in a relationship
but I still feel for you
Cos you are the best woman
This old man has ever met
You taught me about my soul
you shared with me your magic

Don't want to be a thorn in your side
good woman
Always be the one
to make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy
Good woman
cos you deserve everything
and I got nothing so leave me
and i'll go away better off I stay
Far from you,
because you are beautiful

Betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught
so many things about myself
and you know this is true
but now we are apart and its all my fault
cos you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
so how can I share me with you girl
or anyone
Cause you are

Beautiful Beautiful Beautful Woman
Better Man I am cos of you

yer this song is great, its gotta be one of my fav JBT songs. although i think that he does love her and he just wants her to be happy and he doesnt think that hes the right man to do it, he loves her enough to want to leave her if it makes her happier even if it means hurting himself. its gold. and whats the go with no one writing anything for these guys? they are awsome! ps. shit i didnt know they were aussies! thats gold to think at least somone in my contry has done it right

thats all

If u havent seen jbt live u have no idea how good they are. and john plays a custom 11-stringer. visit his web site for more info on his instruments. (he cuts wild on a banjo)

This song is an absolute gem!!!!! These guys really know how to write good songs. Not bad from a bunch of Aussie boys. Its about a guy who meets and incredible girl, who teaches him all about himself and about stuff he couldn't see in himself. But the problem is he is not in love with the girl, and wants to end the relationship without hurting her. Thats my thoughts anyway.

I have to agree with 'tool 4 my life'. It's about the guy who thinks the girl he loves' life would be better without him. It's a sad song, but DAMN! John knows how to play a gutiar.

What is it with the 11 string gutiar? What did some chop off his 12th string. John certainly is one of the best gutiarist's in the country. Man he plays some wicked solo's.

Its not custom, he just took out the G string to make it easier to find his fingering. plus, this is a great song, so fast, so good.

A Truly Wicked Song. I adore the strings going through it all. It's a crazy melody with kind of broken sentences, but it flows really well. It's even better live! Love it Love it! Not often is a song so filled with love so funky!
