Better Not Tell You Songtext
von Lake Street Dive

Don′t paint me a picture, I've read the writing on the wall
I got me a system, I don′t even need a crystal ball
This sweet premonition is pretty convincing after all

'Cause I'm sure I know what the future holds
And the cards are gonna fall

But I better not tell you, better not tell you now
I got a secret, baby
(Better not tell you, better not tell you now)
And I′m gonna keep it
I don′t know if you heard
But baby, actions speak louder than words
So, I better not tell you, better not tell you

It's fairly hard to be patient waiting for the future to unfold
It′s a keen observation, saying that fortune favors the bold
I've got a prognostication, if you could just give me your hand to hold

I would have no doubt, I could go all out
But when you′re leanin' so close


Oh, but I better not tell you, better not tell you now
I caught a feeling, babe
Better not tell you, better not tell you now
Up to the ceiling
And we could leave in the hands of fate or we could take a leap of faith
Either way, I better not tell you, better not tell you

All in good time
I′ll tell you everything

Oh, I better not tell you, better not tell you now
I caught a feeling, baby
Better not tell you, better not tell you now
Up to the ceiling, yeah
Better not tell you (better not tell you), better not tell you now

(Better not tell you now, oh)
Better not tell you, better not tell you now (I've got a secret, yeah)
Better not tell you, better not tell you now (I better not tell you now)
Better not tell you, better not tell you now (I better not tell you now, yeah)
Better not tell you (better now), better not tell you now
