Mary J Blige - Better Lyrics

[Intro]
Shh, be quiet
What you don't know won't hurt you anyway
Shh, be quiet
What you don't love can't love you anyway

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about a love that you don't have, yeah
Love will tell us that it's good when it's all bad, uh-huh
And Love will tell us we are cool when we're not cool
And love will call you a fool but that be rude

[Pre-Chorus]
Love like that, love's likes that sometimes
Don't you stress, don't even strain your mind
Love's like that, love's likes that sometimes
Seems so bad when you got it
But good love's hard to find

[Chorus]
Would it be better draped in pounds of gold?
Would it seems better if roses paved the road?
Would it feel better if it's never cold?
Love is like the California sun when it's ready to rain
We just say no
Would we be better if we shop at the dollar store?
Would it be better to take less when we can have more?
Would I feel better sharing the money I make?
Twenty to the man on the corner
Now he around the corner gettin' blazed
Now I feel bad
[Verse 2]
Love will tell you about a love that you don't have, yeah
And love will tell us that it's good when it's all bad
(All bad), uh-huh
And Love will tell us we are cool, when we not cool (Not cool)
And love will call you a fool but that be rude

[Pre-Chorus]
Love like that, love's likes that sometimes
Don't you stress, don't even strain your mind
Love's like that, love's likes that sometimes
Seems so bad when you got it
But good love's hard to find

[Chorus]
Would I look better If I was cover in diamonds?
Would you love it better If I left when I should be crying?
Now would you hear me better if I served you sweets with no salt?
Love is like an uncle with a fifth of gin
Know he should stop but he just keeps going, uh
Maybe it'd be better to give up these designer things, yeah
Would it feel better to give you what you want
Even if it's something I need?
Would it feels better if I gave my family a little more time
I gave my auntie a watch for Christmas
Now her son's at the pawn shop waiting in line
Now I feel bad
[Bridge]
See, love will tell you about a love that you don't have
(Love that you don't have, yeah)
Love will tell us that it's good when it's all bad
(All bad)
And Love will tell us we are cool, when we not cool (Not cool)
And love will call you a fool but that be rude

Love like that, love's likes that sometimes
Don't you stress, don't even strain your mind, no no no
Love's like that, love's likes that sometimes
It seems so bad when you got it
But good love's hard to find, oh oh oh

[Outro]
Oh, loves like that sometimes
Don't let it strain your mind
Don't stress, yes
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Tell you why
Love's like that, love's like that sometimes
