You Know Better

Shame on you

You saw the whole thing comin'

Let me build my house of cards

And then you, you turned so quick

I believe the whole thing came tumbling down

From the breeze off your skirt

You let me know not one of my tears ever came close

To pay dirt

And when they say "There's nothing to love"

You know better

And when they say "There's nothing to love"

You know better

You know better

I could pretend that you were just part of a chain

One of many

But honey, who on this earth could I ever persuade

To believe me?

So, once, again I've got to pour another shot of deliverance

This time of night any old flavor will do.

It don't seem to make any difference.

And when they say "There's nothing to love"

You know better

And when they say "There's nothing to love"

You know better

You know better

And when they say, again they say

Forget her

Keep your wits about you boy

Don't be stupid

She can live without you boy

You know better

You know better

And when they say "There's nothing to love"

You know better

And when they say "There's nothing to love"

You know better

You know better

You know, you know, you know, you know
