[Verse 1: Joy Williams]
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
The bailiffs drawing near

[Chorus]
Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you
If I didn't know better
But damn it, I do

[Verse 2: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
There's a hole in what you're saying
I can plainly see
You've a lover that's waiting
But, baby, you're right here with me
Ooh, you might as well be the devil
Ooh, keeping me out past three
Well, you're the one with that apple
So baby you can't blame me
[Chorus: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
Ooh, why don't you keep drinking
Give me one night with you
If I didn't know better
But damn it, I do

[Outro: Joy Williams & John Paul Williams]
You know that I do
Baby, you're right here with me
Oh, baby, you know I do
