I Know Better
You say you'll never leave me
You never ever grieve me
But I know better
You offered me the world
If I'll just be your girl
Well, I know better
I've heard those empty promises many times before
And they don't mean a thing anymore
Baby, I know better
So you go and make my life complete
Place the whole world at my feet
Well, I know better
So many things you say you'll do
But I know they're loath of true
I know better
Don't want will ever again bring tears to my eyes
This girl is too smart, this girl is too wise
Baby, I know better
Don't stand quite so close to me
You just wasting time you'll see
Yeah, I know better
And now you're holding me so tight
I wish you wouldn't, it's just that night
I know better
There is a good chance you'll bring me misery
I just can't understand why I'm letting you kiss me
When I know better
Your kisses are so warm and tender
But I can't let my heart surrender
I know better
The flame in my heart is growing higher
Burning with so much desire
I know better
I fight this feeling deep within
I gotta be strong, just can't give in
'Cause I know better
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
I know better
You never ever grieve me
But I know better
You offered me the world
If I'll just be your girl
Well, I know better
I've heard those empty promises many times before
And they don't mean a thing anymore
Baby, I know better
So you go and make my life complete
Place the whole world at my feet
Well, I know better
So many things you say you'll do
But I know they're loath of true
I know better
Don't want will ever again bring tears to my eyes
This girl is too smart, this girl is too wise
Baby, I know better
Don't stand quite so close to me
You just wasting time you'll see
Yeah, I know better
And now you're holding me so tight
I wish you wouldn't, it's just that night
I know better
There is a good chance you'll bring me misery
I just can't understand why I'm letting you kiss me
When I know better
Your kisses are so warm and tender
But I can't let my heart surrender
I know better
The flame in my heart is growing higher
Burning with so much desire
I know better
I fight this feeling deep within
I gotta be strong, just can't give in
'Cause I know better
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
I know better
