[Chorus]
Ooh, better
Better to be wiser than a cool hand
Ooh, tied up
Would have had it tied up with my loose hand
Ooh, better
Better to be wiser than a cool hand
Ooh, tied up
Would I have it tied up with my loose hand

[Verse]
Do I have to act like that
And [?] my hand upon
[?] in vain
Like I'm painted on a show
It takes me by the hand
And it wants me to be afraid
Do I have to act like that
And show off all my love
When my love for myself is fake?
Like I'm painted on a show
It takes me by the hand
And it wants me to be afraid

[Bridge 1]
Ooh, [?]
All this strange investment
Wanna get there
Wanna [?]
And I know they say
And you know they say
When I get there
When I see the love affair
And I'd rather stay in bed
[Bridge 2]
Ooh, better
Better to be wiser than a cool hand
Ooh, tied up
Would have had it tied up with my loose hand

[Verse]
Do I have to act like that
And [?] my hand upon
[?] in vain
Like I'm painted on a show
It takes me by the hand
And it wants me to be afraid
Do I have to act like that
And show off all my love
When my love for myself is fake?
Like I'm painted on a show
It takes me by the hand
And it wants me to be afraid

[Chorus]
Ooh, better
Better to be wiser than a cool hand
Ooh, tied up
Would I have it tied up with my loose hand
Ooh, better
Better to be wiser than a cool hand
Ooh, tied up
Would have had it tied up with my loose hand
