Lady Antebellum is an American country music group formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2006. The group is composed of Hillary Scott (lead and background vocals), Charles Kelley (lead and background vocals, guitar), and Dave Haywood (background vocals, guitar, piano, mandolin). Scott is the daughter of country music singer Linda Davis, and Kelley is the brother of pop singer Josh Kelley.
The group made its debut in 2007 as guest vocalists on Jim Brickman's single "Never Alone", before signing to Capitol Nashville. Lady Antebellum has released five albums for Capitol: Lady Antebellum, Need You Now, Own the Night, Golden, and 747, plus one Christmas album (On This Winter's Night). Their first three albums are certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The albums have produced sixteen singles on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, of which nine have reached number 1. Their longest-lasting number 1 single is "Need You Now", which spent five weeks at that position in 2009; both that song and 2011's "Just a Kiss" reached number 1 on the Adult Contemporary charts.
The first time I laid eyes on you
In that downtown café
How I loved the way your auburn hair
Danced across your face
And looking back at who I was
I don't recognize that guy
Oh I can't imagine where I'd be
Without you by my side
I'm a better man since I love you
I'm a better man since I love you
When this crazy world is all through
I'll be a better man cause I love you
Cause I love you
Sometimes I find it hard to keep
Both feet on the ground
Yeah but everything worth fighting for
Is worth the ups and downs
It's amazing how we got
To where are from where we've been
Yeah it's funny how through it all
We're still the best of friends
I'm a better man since I love you
I'm a better man since I love you
When this crazy world is all through
I'll be a better man cause I love you
Oh, cause I love you
Oh, I love you
Do you remember that one night
We spent in Santa Fe
We drank ourselves into a fight
And almost threw it all away
We talked it out till the bar closed down
And we gave it one more try
As they swept the floors, we just sat there
Laughing till we cried
I'm a better man since I love you
I'm a better man since I love you
And if this crazy world should come unglued
I'll be a better man cause I love you
Oh, I'm a better man
You know that's true
Cause I love you
Oh, yes I do
Baby I love you, oh whoa, I do
