DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER
(Irving Gordon)

Lily Ann Carol - 1953



They say it's wrong to love you so
And before long my tears will flow
But I don't know any better
And it's better that I don't know

With someone new they say you'll flirt
They tell me you'll kiss and desert
But I don't know any better
And the things I don't know won't hurt

They say that I'll soon weep, Dear
I'm a fool for your charms
Should look before I leap, Dear
But who wants to look when I can be in your arms

Scorn me or care, stay, Dear, or go
Joy or despair, I love you so
For I don't know any better
And it's better that I don't know

(Orchestral Interlude)

For I don't know any better
And it's better that I don't know
Yes, it's better that I don't know
