Listen to Martha. It means "you'd better...(or else...)" that's what it means when a Spanish-speaking person says it. The American folks were giving you a literal translation.

It means "you('d) better". How do I know? Because my cousin always tells me that when she wants something done.

Since it is a phrase it can be used in various ways the most common translation would be "It better be worth it".

He's saying something along the lines of 'but it matters to you' or, literally, it means: 'but it is worth to you'.
