I Know Better

Vonda Shepard

Baby, baby, baby 
Remember how we laughed? 
There was a time we knew how to live it up 
And I couldn't totally give it up, no, no, no... 

Maybe, maybe, maybe 
Maybe you were blind 
Or maybe you finally, finally lost your mind 
Or maybe you just needed to unwind 

I loved you baby, don't you know 
But I almost missed the show 
Waiting for your love to grow 
Watching the December snow 

I know better, I know better not to lean on you in any way 
You're a distant memory... nothing to do with today 

Baby, baby, baby 
How am I gonna dream without the love 
The lovin' you gave to me? 
Well whoever wants to be totally free? 

Maybe, maybe, maybe 
There will come a time 
I'm gonna find a love that is really mine 
I'm livin' it up in my spare time 


I see you wave goodbye 
Another pretty bus ride 
I hear the next town is nice 
I wish I could break the ice 

I know better, I know better not to lean on you in any way 
You're a distant memory... nothing to do with today 

Na, na, na... 

I loved you baby, don't you know? 
But I almost missed the show 
Waiting for your love to grow 
Lost in the December snow 
I thought I should let you know 
I know I can let you go 
I'm happier than you know 
Hummin' along to the radio 

I know better, I know better not to lean on you in any way... 
You're a distant memory... nothing to do 
I know better, I know better not to lean on you in any way... 
You're a distant memory... nothing to do with today
