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 drawing near

Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you
If I didn't know better
Well, dammit, I do

There's a hole in what you're saying
I can plainly see you've a lover that's waitin
But baby you're right here with me

Ooh you might as well be the devil
Oh keeping me out past three

Well you're the one with that apple
But baby, you can't blame me
Oh why don't you keep drinking
Give me one night with you

If I didn't know better
Well dammit, I do

Why do i keep drinking
Wasting my time on you
If i didn't know better
But dammit, I do

Ooo baby I doBaby you're right here with me
Sweet daddy you know i do
