A Girl Should Know Better Lyrics

Let me tell you about this boy I know

He thinks he'll get the best of me

He tries to win my affection

With a fancy selection

Of sweet talk and flattery

What my mama had told me

What my mama done told me

Is what this is leading to

Well a girl should know better

And I do

I won't say he's cute

He's got money to-boot

That he doesn't mind spending on me

I let him see me a lot

I figure why not

There's worse places I could be

And I have to remind him

That he'll shudder to find a girl he can be boss to

But a girl should know better

And I do

I wasn't born yesterday

A girl's gotta grow up fast these days

All these men seem nice at first

But after a while they get bad and get worse

Well my mama did teach me

That I shouldn't let you reach me

And I'm sad that I get to miss

And I feel it when we kiss

And when the preacher asks if I'm ready for the task to love and honor you

I say a girl should know better

And I do

And when the preacher asks if I'm ready for the task to love and honor you

I say a girl should know better

And I do

I say a girl should know better

Oh, 'cause I do

I say a girl should know better

I - and I do!
