I Know Better Songtext
von Gladys Knight & the Pips

You say you′ll 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've heard those empty 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

So many things you say you′ll do
But I know they'll all fall through
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
Yeah, I know better

And now you′re holding me so tight
I wish you wouldn't, it′s just not right
I know better

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

Your kiss is 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 fighting this feeling deep within
Gotta be strong, just can't give in
′Cause I know better
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
