[Intro]
Mmm

[Verse 1]
You say you'd never leave me, you'll 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)

[Chorus]
I've heard those empty promises many times before
And they don't mean a thing anymore
Baby, I know better

[Verse 2]
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'll say you'll do, but I know they'll all fall through
I know better (I know better)

[Chorus]
No-one will ever again bring tears to my eyes
This girl is too smart, this girl is too wise
Baby, I know better
[Verse 3]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Your kisses, oh 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
I'm fightin' this feelin' deep within
Gotta be strong, just can't give in
'Cause I know better
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (Baby, I know better)
Mmhmm
