I Know Better

(アルバム： Feelin' Bluesy - 1968)

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
