The Marvelettes — I Know Better

Mmm You say you'd never leave me, never ever grieve me But I know better You offer me the world if I'll just be your girl Well, I know better (I know better) I've heard those promises many times before And they don't mean a thing anymore Baby, I know better So you're gonna make my life complete Place the whole world at my feet Well, I know better (I know better) So many things you say you'll do, but I know they'll all fall through I know better (I know better) No-one 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're just wasting time, you see I know better (I know better) And now you're holding me so tight I wish you wouldn't, it's just not right I know better (I know better) There's 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 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah The flame in my heart is growing higher, burning with so much desire I know better Baby, baby, baby, baby
