Lyrics
Some things ain't always what they seem
Some aspects of life are deceptive or not as they appear.
You keep your secrets in the pockets of your red jeans
You hide your secrets in the pockets of your red jeans.
Just when you think it's real its really a scheme
Appearances can be misleading; what seems real may be a deceptive plan.
I didn't know that you could be so mean
The speaker discovers an unexpected, unkind side of someone.
I didn't know that you play tennis in the park
Surprising revelation that the person plays tennis in the park.
I didn't know that you get freaky in the dark
Another unexpected detail: the person engages in intimate activities in the dark.
I didn't know you had a lack of faith
Discovering the person lacks faith or trust.
I didn't know that you were lactose intolerant
Unexpected revelation: the person is lactose intolerant.
I thought I knew you better babe
The speaker believed they knew the person well.
I thought I knew you better baby

I thought I knew you better babe
Continued expression of disappointment in not truly knowing the person.
I thought I knew you better baby

Well you say you gotta job
The person claims to have a job but is actually a freelancer.

That you're riding a Benz

Well you ain't got the money but you're paying her bills
The person's actions are contradictory and deceitful.
Gimme the truth el camino fer real
The speaker demands the truth, emphasizing sincerity.
You're lettin' down your side of the deal
The person is failing to fulfill their part of an agreement or relationship.
I'd place my bet on you but it'd be like Russian roulette
Expressing doubt in trusting the person, comparing it to a risky game.
And you can't have my heart but you can come around any day
The speaker is cautious with their emotions but is open to occasional interaction.
I thought I knew you better babe
