Changes: If I Didn't Know Better

Revision as of 11:48, 30 September 2016

If I Didnt Know Better is a song written by John Paul White and Arum Rae and performed by Scarlett O'Connor and Gunnar Scott in the Season One premiere Pilot.

In the show, this song was written by Scarlett as a poem and It was Gunnar who convinced her to turn it into a song. So Scarlett wrote the lyrics and Gunnar made the melody. They first perfomed this song at Bluebird, in the "songwriter's night", and then, in episode 3, Someday You'll Call My Name in the Watty's Recording Studio.

Lyrics

Scarlett:
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

Scarlett and Gunnar:
Stop saying those sweet things
You know I like to hear
The horns are blowing louder
The bailiffs strolling near

Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you
If I didn’t know better
Well dammit I do

Gunnar:
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

Scarlett:
Ooh, you might as well be the devil
Keeping me out past three

Gunnar:
Well, you’re the one with that apple
So baby you can’t blame me

Why don’t you keep drinking
Give me one night with you

Scarlett:
If I didn’t know better
Well dammit I do

Scarlett and Gunnar:
Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you
If I didn’t know better

Scarlett:
Well dammit, I do
Oh baby I do

Gunnar:
You’re right here with me

Scarlett:
Sweet daddy you know I do
