If I Didn't Know Better

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’d like to hear

The horns are blowing louder

The bailiff's drawing near

Why do I keep drinking

Wasting my time on you

If I didn’t know better

But, dammit, I do

There’s a hole in what you’re saying

I can plainly see

You've a lover that’s waiting

But, baby, you’re right here with me

Oh, you might as well be the devil

Keeping me out past three

Well, you’re the one with that apple

But, baby, you can’t blame me

Why don’t you keep drinking

Give me one night with you

If I didn’t know better

But, dammit, I do

Oh baby, I do

Baby, you’re right here with me

Sweet daddy, you know I do
