Lyrics The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars

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 like to hear

The horns are blowing louder and they're destroying me

Why do I keep drinking

Wasting my time on you

If I didn't know better

Well damnit

I do

There's a hole in what you're saying

I can plainly see

You have a lover that's waiting but baby you're right

here with me

Ooh, you might as well be the devil

Oh, keeping me out past three

Oh, you're the one with that apple so baby you can't

blame me

Why don't you keep drinking

Get me one night with you

If I didn't know better

Well damnit

I do

You know that I do

Oh, baby you're right here with me

Oh, baby you know
