I Know Better

R. Dean Taylor, Norman Whitfield

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)

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 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 is growing higher, burning with so much desire
I know better
Baby, baby, baby, baby
