I Know Better - The Marvelettes

Mmm

You say you’d never leave me, 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)

I’ve heard those promises many times before

And they don’t mean a thing anymore

Baby, I know better

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 say you’ll do, but I know they’ll all fall through

I know better (I know better)

No-one will ever again bring tears to my eyes

This girl is too smart, this girl is too wise

Baby, I know better

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)
