[Verse 1]
Oh, why can't I control myself?
I'm supposed to be grown by now
Time ain't gonna slow down
Every second counts
No rhyme or reason to move so fast
I'm feelin' it where I'm at
I hope we can make it last
Longer than ever

[Pre-Chorus]
After everything I've learned (Uh-huh)
Always get what I deserve (Uh-huh)

[Chorus]
They say I should know better
I should know better by now
I should know better
I should know better by now
But I'm no better
Everyone's gonna find out
I'm just like the rest of 'em
(Oh)

[Verse 2]
Guess I am what I am, just still don't get it yet
Yeah, how could you understand?
Make mistakes and I make amends
Sometimes I say what I can't take back
Right place, wrong time for a reason
Not mad, got even, still here, not leavin'
I thank God each moment I'm breathin'
Can't stop believin'
[Pre-Chorus]
After everything I've learned
Always get what I deserve, yeah

[Chorus]
But they say I should know better
I should know better by now (I should)
I should know better
I should know better by now
But I'm no better (No)
Everyone's gonna find out
I'm just like the rest of 'em
Even though I should know better (Yeah, I should)
Oh, I should know better by now (I know)
But I'm no better
Everyone's gonna find out
I'm just like the rest of 'em
Even though I'm tryin' to be the best of 'em
(The best of 'em, oh yeah)
