Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of acknowledgment or agreement
If I didn't know better I'd say
Expressing doubt or suspicion about the person's intentions
You were coming on strong, leading me on
Suggesting that the person is being flirtatious or making advances
Trying to take me home
Implies an attempt to persuade the speaker to go home with them
If I didn't know better I'd say
Reiterating the suspicion or doubt about the person's intentions
We should sit back down, order a round
Suggesting the idea of reconsidering and not pursuing the situation
Close down the town, whoa
Implies enjoying the current setting and not wanting to leave
But better's waiting in a bed back home
Highlighting commitment to a significant other waiting at home
Last thing I wanna do is ever do her wrong
Expressing the desire not to betray or hurt the person at home
That girl's the only girl I want
Affirming the exclusivity of the speaker's feelings for the person at home
If it were another place, another time
Suggesting that the current situation would be different in another context
We'd be walking outta here 'bout to cross that line
Implies a potential crossing of boundaries in a different scenario
Yeah, tomorrow we'd be waking up together
Envisioning a positive future with the person at home
If I didn't know better
Reiterating the theme of not knowing better about the current situation
If I didn't know better I'd never know
Continuing the theme of not being aware of certain aspects
What it was like, holding him tight, trying to find
Reflecting on past experiences of holding someone else
Everything that's already mine
Searching for something that is already possessed
But better's waiting in a bed back home
Reiterating the idea of a better situation waiting at home
Last thing I wanna do is ever do her wrong
Reaffirming the commitment to the person at home
That girl (that boy) is the only one I want, yeah
Acknowledging the exclusivity of feelings for the person at home
Another place, another time
Continuing the theme of alternate possibilities in different circumstances
We'd be walking outta here 'bout to cross that line
Hinting at the potential for crossing boundaries in an alternate scenario
Yeah, tomorrow we'd be waking up together
Envisioning a positive future with the person at home
If I didn't know better
Reiterating the theme of not knowing better about the current situation
If I didn't know better
Repeating the uncertainty or doubt about the current situation
Better's waiting in a bed back home
Emphasizing the idea of a better situation waiting at home
Last thing I wanna do is ever do him wrong
Reaffirming the commitment to the person at home
That girl (that boy) is the only one I want, yeah
Acknowledging the exclusivity of feelings for the person at home
Another place, another time
Continuing the theme of alternate possibilities in different circumstances
We'd be walking outta here 'bout to cross that line
Hinting at the potential for crossing boundaries in an alternate scenario
Yeah, tomorrow we'd be waking up together
Envisioning a positive future with the person at home
If I didn't know better
Reiterating the theme of not knowing better about the current situation
But, baby, I know better
Admitting a level of awareness or understanding
Better's waiting in a bed back home
Emphasizing the idea of a better situation waiting at home
Last thing I wanna do is ever do her wrong
Reaffirming the commitment to the person at home
