Baton Rouge I Know Better Than You Do
Hard times, always hard times,
Every time I try you hear
Nothing I say,
I try, Lord knows I try,
Tried to compromise,
But the more that you play,
I'll dance, stand on my head,
Anything it takes
Just to mellow you out,
We roll end over end,
Silence never breaks,
God the silence is loud,
I know where this
Evenin's goin',
I'm all set to hear
You sayin'.
I know better than you do,
I know better than you do,
Life with you is a typhoon,
I know better than,
I know better than you. . .
We touch, always we feel,
Every time we love it
Just settles the storm.
Sometimes that's all
That's real, then,
We fight again with no reason
Or fault
It's hard to keep my mouth shut,
Such a little girl underneath
Your smooth skin,
I'm tough you ain't no prize.
Learn to play the game,
Always letting you win,
I know conversation's boring,
Close my eyes to your old story. . .
Act cool steady it down,
Maybe you'll stop like a
summer storm cloud,
Act cool steady it down,
I've been there before. . .
