Well, I've never given one night stands a good start,
I don't go nowhere I can't take my heart,
and I know that makes me some kind of prude,
but I don't start things I can't see my way through;

The lonely nights rip me apart,
so don't go nowhere you can't take your heart,
cause those nights will pass and the day will break;
I'd hate to see you ruin your life over one mistake.

Cause I can't do that, and I know you can't too.
Spending every night offering more than they offer you.
Cause I can't do that, and why should you.
I know you better you got better things to do.

Cause you got better things to do than run around with all these fools.
yeah but in the end, my friend, you'll find out just what you need to do.

Well, I hope you got what it was you wanted.
The finish line doesn't seem far from where we started.
I've learned to give just as much as I take,
but tell me why should I give you something you'll just break...
you'll just break...
you'll just break.

Cause I can't do that, and I know you can't too.
Spending every night offering more than they offer you.
Well you know, I can't do that, and why should you.
I know you better you got better things to do.
I know you better,
I know you better,
I know you... know you, know you
I know you better,
I know you better.
