Lyrics I Know Better - Gladys Knight & The Pips

I Know Better

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)
