You Know Me Better Than That

George Strait · 50 Number Ones [MCA Nashville] [2004]

(Tony Haselden - Anna Lisa Graham)



Baby, since you left me, there's somebody new,

She thinks I'm perfect, I swear,

She likes my body, my class and my charm.

She says I've got a confident aire.

She respects my ambition, thinks I'm talented too,

But she's in love with an image time is bound to see through.



Chorus:

Oh, you know me better than that,

You know the me that gets lazy and fat.

How moody I can be, all my insecurities.

You've seen me lose all my charm,

You know I was raised on a farm.

Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect,

And that I love her cat,

But you know me better than that.



--- Instrumental ---



I miss picnics and blue jeans and buckets of beer,

Now it's ballet and symphony hall;

I'm into culture, clean up to my ears,

It's like wearin' a shoe that's too small.

Oh, I caught her with an issue of Brides magazine,

Starin' at dresses and pickin' out rings.



Chorus:

But you know me better than that,

You know the me that gets lazy and fat.

How moody I can be, all my insecurities.

You've seen me lose all my charm,

You know I was raised on a farm.

Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect,

And that I love her cat,

But you know me better than that.



Oh, she tells her friends I'm perfect,

And that I love that cat,

Oh, but you know me better than that...
