- I Know Better Lyrics / with translationsI could tell you that it don't hurt you're leavin' me
And I could say it never really matter the way you've always treated me
Baby I could lie to you some more and say I won't cry when you walk out back door
But I know better
If someone had just told me you would be like this
I'd always runnin' and lookin' and a wantin' to taste some stranger's kiss
Baby that have been good advice I took
I tell myself I'd never even givin' you a second look
But I know better
Go on and have your fun see the town and run around
I don't think you've got too much longer to run
There'll come a time when you're too tired to run
And bright lights and booze have got you too used up for anyone's fun
Baby you'll expect to start again with me back before our love begin to end
But I know better
Go on and have your fun...
And I could say it never really matter the way you've always treated me
Baby I could lie to you some more and say I won't cry when you walk out back door
But I know better
If someone had just told me you would be like this
I'd always runnin' and lookin' and a wantin' to taste some stranger's kiss
Baby that have been good advice I took
I tell myself I'd never even givin' you a second look
Go on and have your fun see the town and run around
I don't think you've got too much longer to run
There'll come a time when you're too tired to run
And bright lights and booze have got you too used up for anyone's fun
Baby you'll expect to start again with me back before our love begin to end
But I know better
Go on and have your fun...
