I´ve Got to Do a Little Bit Better - Joe Tex

Baby did I ever make you a promise

And I’ve got so busy that is slipped my mind

These things happen, you know

Then I’m asking you to forgive me

I’m so sorry and I apologize

Oh yeah

'Cause I know to a woman

Her man’s promises keep her goin'

Yes they do

I’ve got to do a little bit better than I’ve been doing

Baby do you ever need me to hold you

And I was somewhere else at the time

This fool, am I

Then I’m asking you to forgive me

I’m so sorry and I apologize

Oh yeah

'Cause I know to a woman

Her man’s love keeps her goin'

Yes it does

I’ve got to do a little bit better than I’ve been doin'

A man gets so busy tryin' to meet

His little man’s needs

That he forgets some other promises he’s made

Oh yeah

But when a man’s got himself a woman

That’s so sweet and understandin'

You know that man has got it made

In the shade

Baby, whatever time you were crying

And I wasn’t there to dry your eyes

Wooh, I’m asking you to forgive me

I’m so sorry and I apologize

Oh yes I am

'Cause I know to a woman

Her man’s attentions keep her going

I’ve got to do a little bit better than I’ve been doing
