I Know Better Songtext
von The Marvelettes

Mmh, 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 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 (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'll see, I know better (I know better)
And now you′re holdin' me so tight
I wish you wouldn′t, it's just not right
I know better (I know better)

There's a good chance, you′ll bring me misery
I just can′t understand, why I'm lettin′ you kiss me
When I know better


Your kisses are so warm and tender
But I can't let my heart surrender, I know better
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
The flame in my heart was growing higher
Burning with so much desire, I know better
Baby-baby-baby-baby
