It Doesn't Know Any Better
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · Gems By Jim [RCA Victor] [1967]
I should break these habits before very long
Like calling to see if you're home
But my hand just can't help reaching out for the phone
It doesn't know any better.
I've cautioned my heart not to hope anymore
That you won't be around like before
Still it stops everytime there's a knock on your door
It doesn't know any better.
I still can't believe that you're gone
Though I've tried
My senses got lost in
The turmoil inside.
And my love keeps raging though your love has died
It doesn't know any better
And my life goes on there's just one reason why
It doesn't know any better...
