Leon Bridges - Better Man Lyrics
I don't want much
I just wanna be a better man
To my baby
Meet me off good luck
I was singing with them Jezebels
Got a golden smile, heart overflow
But got us in love, but it wasn't enough
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi river
If you would give me another start, girl
All night long I was out
Out till the morning
Love's what I'm longing
Baby please, I'm down on my knees begging
I thirst for you girl
Baby I'm running to your well
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi river
If you would give me another start, girl

So glad Luna Montana mentioned younin her latest vid!
Where have you beennnnnnn.... I love an old school vibe, voice and man... wow.....
I’m 42,,, been listening to this guy for a few months after finding him through a music app. I truly thought he was from the 60’s or 70’s and I had somehow missed him all my life. My guy is brilliant! 🔥⚔️ There’s hope for music.
such a great imitation of the older songs. what a blast from the past. one of the best entertainers of the 60's
Ahhhh Nordstrom plays this song during Christmas hehe🥰😂 love it
I don't want much
I just wanna be a better man
To my baby
Give me your good luck
I was singing with them Jezebels
Under perfume sheets
Got a golden smile, heart overflow
But got us in love, but it wasn't enough
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi river
If you would give me another start, girl
All night long I was out
Out till the morning
But baby you're tender
Lust when I'm longing
Baby please, I'm down on my knees begging
I thirst for you girl
Baby I'm running to your well
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi river
If you would give me another start, girl
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi river
What can I do? What can I do?
To get back to your heart
I'd swim the Mississippi river
If you would give me another start, girl
When I tell you I thought this song was an oldies song from the 60s....I was beyond baffled to know that its actually not...freaking awesome man!
Calming my body and soul...
Good job leon!
Ooph, can't get over this man's beauty...celebrity crushinnn
My favorite! Listen to you all the time! I love the oldies and Sam Cooke is one of my favorites! Your bringing that sound back that everyone is in love with! Your views shows exactly what this world is yearning for. Your kind of music! Please keep these coming! Your songs are just so uplifting and they put everyone in a great mood:) Leon would love to see you live!
This Dude can`t sing. He`s lousy

Keeping the 60's alive but so original Leon...I love it✌❤🌎🌙🌠🎸
I love this song.
Thank you my friend, Destiney Maise, good music!
my only complaint about this song is that i wish it was longer....i love this guy!
He looks waaaay toooo young to have such a(n) old/soulful soul..... Yet, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
This is the good music we live for
Somehow it makes me sad ... these days all you hear is ''Bitches and hoes '' and women are proud to be someones Bitch smdh ... this Young one singing about Being a Better man ... how lovely ...
As much as I love the music I wouldn't want to live in the era lol. But good shit. I just noticed the song is about him cheating and getting a second chance, funny how most like beyond and want a guy like him but even he sings he might've made a mistake. Mother fuckers just dont work it out these days man.
Track ✌🏽
Because of the mainstream music industry i havent heared this before. This band would have pots of money by now if people in the music industry knew good from bad. They only understand 16 year old girls + alot of crap = $$
you gonna take over my playlist... So in love.
how am i just finding his music
Timoya Melbourne Same here 🤷🏾♂️
Loving how they close up on the instruments. LOVE THIS VIDEO
Man I got this song on repeat! Wish it was 10 min long. I get sad when it ends. But happy to rehear it. LOVE IT!
Sticks from live pd brought me here 🎶🎶🎶💯🔥
.....and fck every last one of those dislikes.
He is so cute I wanna play with his balls
Bringing back the Doo Wap! 😎✌🏼 beautiful
Greatest artist around
People need to stop spending money on their PSYCHIATRIST!!! One listen to your music and were fixed.. GOD BLESS U.
I absolutely love this song! It has that epic 60’s doowop/Motown sound and it’s new! Thank god there’s new music actually worth listening to again!
Wow. Just learned about this guy today
I think he been here before
He has to do more songs like this and coming home
Swimming the Mississippi River for love is profound bc the Mississippi is diiiiirtay
Look me up on Facebook I’m about to help him bring real music back! Jovin Webb
Omg how beautiful you are little boy with your song. touch my soul.
What a gem. Thank you for some soul music with great meaningful lyrics.
if marcus rashford was a singer
Saw Leon open for The Rolling Stones, absolutely amazing
Back in the 50s . I love this guy !
Takes you back to the 60's and early 70's style Really refreshing Just keep on singing Hope i get a chance to see him live
Man, his music is amazing! A little Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Donny Hathaway, Raphael Saddiq, and Mali combined all in one! Great job, Leon!!!!
Love this! who else is listening in February 2019?
Can someone tell me where can I find a beat like this
Te amo, Leon
💗💗💗💗😍😍😍i love you!!
Steve Cropper on Telecaster?
Is that how you feel?
If Amy Winehouse was still alive I could so see her doing a duet with Leon!
That’s Rhythm & Blues right there. A far cry from the garbage on the radio.
I love his style ❤ From Brazil ❤

I got here via Otis Redding, Al Green and The Alabama Shakes. If it wasn't for YouTube I would not have heard Leon Bridges. I can see me downloading everything he has recorded. A breath of fresh air! I hope Leon comes to perform in the UK.
😍😍
This takes me back in time...... to 2006, when James Hunter put out People Gonna Talk. Can't get enough of that r&b soul sound!
When i worked in retail this song always played in the store. i would always reply to Leon question by say , Go ahead and Swim the Mississippi then i will let you know. Not knowing it was a classic by Leon Bridges love it.
fire!!!
Man, you're amazing, oh my God, I'm in love
PLEASE come back Leon! then new stuff.

Coloured people have the most beautiful voice ever !
