Lyrics:

Verse 1:
A work-around can’t solve the loneliness that’s in my bed
Warnings in my head, I-do-the-reverse instead
Just in moments when
His touch is closer then
The repercussions that’ll leave me dwelling on loose ends
And men is part of mend
So I’ll do it all again
Just goes to show your mind ain’t always your friend

Chorus 1:
I should know better
Cause they won’t call on sweater weather
When cuffing season hits hard in September
Even if if isn’t right, only for the night, can’t deny I know no better
This I know, yeah I know, now I know, actin’ like I don’t

Verse 2:
Fool me once, fool me twice, at this point I don’t even take my own shrink’s advice
Out here chasing the next high from another guy
Who’s already scrolling for his next before we’ve said goodbye
So fool me once, more than twice
Ignore the side-effects, but still hoping for paradise
Pay my dividends by playing pretend
No I can’t recommend 
when I couldn’t depend, on all these fair weather friends

Chorus 2:
I should know better
Cause they won’t call on sweater weather
When cuffing season hits hard in November
Even if it isn’t right, only for the night, I can’t deny… 

Bridge:
I know no better, branded-by-his scarlet letter
He’s the good kind of wetter, I’m weak for a sweater 
Crumblin’ like feta, questioning my vendetta
I should know better, cause I’m hot like pepper
Feelin' more like a beggar, and not a go-getter
CNTRL, ALT, D the error, I ain’t findin’ no treasure

Searching for an addition with low precision
Really thought the harder you try, the more that comes to fruition
Overlookin’ intuition, skippin’ terms & conditions
Clause 6 to 9 sounded divine, and now I’m in an awkward position
Only want me at my best
Ignorance is bliss until he’s leavin’ uninvited guests, and then I second-guess
The different faces and pillow cases
Will I ever learn I’m looking for love in all the wrong places?

Chorus 3: 
I should know better
Cause they don’t call on sweater weather 
When cuffing season hits harder in December
Underneath a greying sky, turning a blind eye, can’t deny I know no better,
Ignoring all the dangers (know no better) 
Too much energy for strangers (know no better)
This I know, yeah I know, now I know, still actin’ like I don’t

Outro: 
Getting this off my chest
Taking time to reflect
It’s kinda hard to digest
Back then I was more impressed
Guess I couldn’t accept I was losing pieces each time I undressed
This I know, yeah I know, now I know, 
Gotta stop actin’ like I don’t.
