Luv U Better Lyrics

This is for my number one This is for my number one This is for my number one True baby for I adore This is hard to say I want to make sure I go about this in the right way 'Cause lately I been busy a lot And I know you don't feel appreciated and what not I used to tell you that you're hair looked fly Kiss you slow and stare in your eyes Now I talk real foul and slick Every other sentence is, "You make me sick" Back in the days I was your number one pick Now your heart's half-broken and that's hard to fix I had to dig deep inside myself 'Cause I can't see you bouncin' with somebody else It's a long journey back to the place we was When I was too embarrassed to admit I was in love And you was my good girl that wouldn't give it up I can't let us self-destruct [Chorus] Baby smile today 'Cause I been on that journey always I'm gon' love you better When your friends'll see you too Just when you think there's nothin' else I can do I'm gon' love you better When I think about the things we did And I think about you having my kids And I think about us sharing a crib Losin' all that, God forbid You deserve flowers and candy, the simple things In addition to the SL's, bigets and rings Instead I walk around like I'm a king And having you ain't nothing but a thing I even stopped tellin' you the lovin' was good Too busy frontin' in the hood Baby girl, hold me tight don't ever let go I'ma do it real gentle baby, nice and slow One more chance baby and don't say no 'Cause I got another side to show Some say love is painful it helps you grow Well it's time for the pain to go, ya'know [Chorus] Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) So let's laugh together, cry together God willin' we gon' die together Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) So let's laugh together, cry together God willin' we gon' die together It's a brand new me, a brand new you A brand new day, sky so blue Hold my hand while I walk with you Sit on my lap, lemme talk to you No more games callin' you foul names Actin' like females is all the same I'm gon' love you better, my mentality changed From this day forward I'll never be the same I'ma rub your lower back, share my dreams I love you, lemme show you what I mean Give you the deepest love a girl ever seen Watch you sleep, so peaceful and serene A toast to the queen, you're back in my life But this time I'ma do it right Trust me, from the bottom of my heart Nothin's gonna tear us apart, promise [Chorus: x2] Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) So let's laugh together, cry together God willin' we gon' die together Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) Do you think I meant to hurt you? (No) So let's laugh together, cry together God willin' we gon' die together

Meaning of Luv U Better

“Luv U Better” is a heartfelt apology from LL Cool J to his love interest, grappling with the damage he’s inflicted on their relationship. He acknowledges a shift in his behavior – from adoration and tenderness to harshness and self-centeredness – fueled by busyness and a misguided attempt at appearing successful. He desperately wants to recapture the initial connection, recognizing the pain he's caused and the potential loss of shared dreams like children and a future together. The repeated plea, “I’m gonna love you better,” signifies his commitment to rebuilding trust and demonstrating genuine affection through simple gestures and heartfelt expressions of love. Ultimately, the song is an admission of fault coupled with a vulnerable desire for redemption, revealing a man struggling to re-earn a lost love by acknowledging her needs and reverting to the loving devotion she initially deserved.
