If I Didn't Know Better

Nashville · Other Songs - Nashville

If I didn't know better

I'd hang my hat right there

If I didn't know better

I'd follow you up the stairs



Stop saying those sweet things

You know I like to hear

The horns are blowing louder

The bailiffs strolling near



Why do I keep drinking

Wasting my time on you

If I didn't know better

Well damnit I do



There's a hole in what you're saying

I can plainly see

You have a lover that's waiting

But baby you're right here with me



Ooh, you might as well be the devil

Keeping me out past three

Well, you're the one with that apple

So baby you can't blame me



Why don't you keep drinking

Give me one night with you

If I didn't know better

Well damnit I do
