Better Than I Lyrics by SWV

I Missed Us

2012

[Verse 1]
She got my eyes, she got my hair
Go on and stare, complexion to sing
It wouldn't be the same if you knew she didn't care
About you the way that I do now
So don't go thinkin' that she's better than I
[Chorus]
I'ma keep it one hundred
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
She ain't got nothin' on my, ooh-ah
Don't go thinkin' that she's better than I
I'm gon' show you
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
Boy, I'm gon' show you what I'm finna
Finna, finna, finna, finna do now
[Verse 2]
She doesn't cook, she doesn't clean
Steam your jeans, she always rush
Doesn't take much to do to win your love
You're something in common we share
But don't go thinkin' that she's better than I
[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, you got plenty to choose
Boy, don't forget 80-20 rules
So why she dance? It don't even matter
(It don't even matter)
'Cause I do my things better
[Chorus]
I'ma keep it one hundred
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
She ain't got nothin' on my, ooh-ah
Don't go thinkin' that she's better than I
I'm gon' show you
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
Boy, I'm gon' show you what I'm finna
Finna, finna, finna, finna do now
[Verse 3]
Way before you saw me walkin' down the aisle you told me
I'm the type of girl that stand out in a crowd
You said you liked my smile way before we said our vows
I was your Tenderoni and you was my Bobby Brown
Ba-ba-baby, take a ride, you've been playin' me a while
Gamin' her too, got us both like wow
But I'm finna hit the dial if you're still out on the prowl
And you can't commit to vows 'cause you keep committin' vowels
[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, you got plenty to choose
Boy, don't forget 80-20 rules
So why she dance? It don't even matter
(It don't even matter)
'Cause I do my things better
[Chorus]
I'ma keep it one hundred
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
She ain't got nothin' on my, ooh-ah
Don't go thinkin' that she's better than I
I'm gon' show you
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
Boy, I'm gon' show you what I'm finna
Finna, finna, finna, finna do now
I'ma keep it one hundred
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
She ain't got nothin' on my, ooh-ah
Don't go thinkin' that she's better than I
I'm gon' show you
She ain't got nothin', I can prove why
Boy, I'm gon' show you what I'm finna
Finna, finna, finna, finna do now
