Some things make me so blue Don't know what to do Things don't turn out as planned I wanna be a better man Last day home today Wish these tears would go away I don't see any of you will understand I wanna be a better man When I come up to my brother He lend me his hand And when I come up to my mother She says "Son, don't be sad Life ain't long so do the best you can" Oh, I wanna be a better man I know that life is short Know we can't stay long But one thing's for sure I know that I'll be strong When I come up to my brother He lend me his hand And when I come up to my mother She says "Son, don't be sad Life ain't long so do the best you can" Oh, I wanna be a better man (Wanna be a better man) (Wanna be a better man) I know that life is short Know we can't stay long But one thing's for sure I know that I'll be strong
