I Know Better

Now that I don't feel sick to my stomach

I am finally getting well

Give me one good reason to give it another try

That's what I thought, that's what I thought

Now you're asking me to come back 'round again

Just as soon as I left town

Can you tell me how it's any different

That's what I thought, that's what I thought

I'm not a pig, one that goes back again to roll 'round in the mud

I know better than that

I'm not a dog, I'm not a dog returning to its vomit

I know better than that

I hear the doorbell, it's the snake oil man

And I'm not feeling too polite

I turn the porch light off while I look him in the eye

Sir, not tonight, no, not tonight

I'm not a pig, one that goes back again to roll 'round in the mud

I know better than that

I'm not a dog, I'm not a dog returning to its vomit

I know better than that

I know better, better than that

Now I know better than that

I've learned my lesson, I have learned my lesson

I'm not going back, I'm not going back

I'm not a pig, one that goes back again to roll 'round in the mud

I know better than that

I'm not a dog, I'm not a dog returning to its vomit

I know better than that

It might have worked back when I was young and dumb and desperate

But now I'm old and wise and mad

I've learned my lesson and I don't have to be like that anymore

Cause I've learned better than that

Hey, I know better than that

I know better than that
