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
