If I Didn't Know Better
Love's Deceptive Dance: If I Didn't Know Better
Lyrics
If I didn't know better I'd hang my hat right there
If I were not aware of the truth, I would settle down in that place.
If I didn't know better I'd follow you up the stairs
If I didn't know any better, I would follow you upstairs.
Stop saying those sweet things you know I like to hear
Stop uttering those sweet words that I enjoy hearing.
The horns are blowing louder and the bailiffs drawing near
The intensity is increasing, and trouble is approaching.
Why do I keep drinking
Why do I persist in drinking and wasting time on you?
Wasting my time on you
Wasting my time on you.
If I didn't know better
If I were unaware of the truth, I might be frustrated.
Well damn it
Expressing frustration or exasperation.
I do
However, I am aware of the truth.
There's a hole in what you're saying
There is a gap or inconsistency in what you're saying, and I can clearly see it.
I can plainly see
You have a lover waiting for you, but you are physically present with me.
You have a lover that's waiting but baby you're right
Here with me
-Oh, you might as well be the devil
You might as well be as troublesome as the devil.
Oh, keeping me out past three
Keeping me out late into the night.
Oh, you're the one with that apple so baby you can't
You're the one with the tempting allure, so don't blame me.
Blame me
Why don't you keep drinking
Why do you continue drinking? Give me one night with you.
Get me one night with you
Get me one night with you.
If I didn't know better
If I were unaware of the truth, I might be frustrated.
Well damn it
Expressing frustration or exasperation.
I do
However, I am aware of the truth.
You know that I do
You know that I am aware of the truth.
Oh, baby you're right here with me
You are physically present with me.
Oh, baby you know
