Stevie Hoang 《Better Man》：柔美动听的R&B

Stevie Hoang祖籍中国，会说广东话。他的音乐细腻温婉，柔美动听，亚裔血统的背景让他的音乐拥有东方人特有的细腻，而自幼西化的成长环境，也让他的R&B更加国际化。在日本被称为“R&B界の口コミ王子”，所谓“口コミ”就是“街谈巷议，口头流传，有口碑的”的意思，因为他最初的身份是独立音乐制作人，发布歌曲都是通过My Space和Youtube，可以解释为中国所说的“网络歌手”。目前Stevie Hoang仍然以独立歌手的身份发片，专辑里里外外均由他一手包办，由于其出众的才华，无比养耳的音乐，还有俊朗的外表，让这位不算新人的新人拥有了大批死忠粉丝。

歌词

Stevie Hoang - Better Man
watch this
em... oh...em..yeah
girl it seems like only yesterday
when we first hooked¹ up
when I think of what we had back then
when I gave you all my trust
I knew you were the one for me
you came and made my life complete
girl you took my heart
promised that we never part
but it seems like things are different now
you tell me that I have changed
I realize I didn't play my part
girl for that I'll take the blame
for all the things I put you through
just let me make it up to you
promise that you'll stay
just don't walk away
please tell me I never meant to make you cry
all the things I did girl I apologize
whatever it takes I swear I'll make it right
just give me a chance
I swearI'll be a better man
(better man, better man, better man...)
I swear I'll be a better man
girl I know I messed up more than once
but I'm already to change
all you gotta do is say the word
we can start over again
cuz nothing else means² more to me
to be with you is all I need
girl I realize what's important in my life
can't you see I'm just not strong enough
to make it on my own
and without you here beside me girl
this house is not a home
I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve³
cuz girl I need you desperately⁴
don't leave me now girl let's work it out
please tell me I never meant to make you cry
all the things I did girl I apologize
whatever it takes I swear I'll make it right
just give me a chance
I swear I'll be a better man
anything you see I'll do
let me make it up to you
girl for I'll change my ways
all you gotta do is stay
I'll be everything you need
girl just put your trust in me
all I need is one more chance
to show you I'm a better man
please tell me i never meant to make you cry
all the things I did girl I apologize
whatever it takes I swear I'll make it right
just give me a chance
I swear I'll be a better man
please tell me I never meant to make you cry
all the things I did girl I apologize
whatever it takes I swear I'll make it right
just give me a chance
I swear I'll be a better man
(better man, better man, better man...)
I swear I'll be a better man
(better man, better man, better man...)
