You know better babe, you know better babe

Than to look at it, look at it like that

You know better babe, you know better babe

Than to talk to it, talk to it like that

Don’t give it a hand, offer it a soul

Honey, make this easy

Leave it to the land, this is what it knows

Honey, that’s how it sleeps

Don’t let it in with no intention to keep it

Jesus Christ! Don’t be kind to it

Honey don’t feed it – it will come back

You know better babe, you know better babe

Than to smile at me, smile at me like that

You know better babe, you know better babe!

Than to hold me just, hold me just like that

I know who I am when I’m alone

I’m something else when I see you

You don’t understand, you should never know

How easy you are to need

Don’t let me in with no intention to keep me

Jesus Christ! Don’t be kind to me

Honey don’t feed me – I will come back

It can’t be unlearned

I’ve known the warmth of your doorways

Through the cold, I’ll find my way back to you

Oh please, give me mercy no more!

It’s a kindness you can’t afford!

I want you baby tonight, as sure as you’re born

You’ll hear me howling outside your door

Don’t you hear me howling babe?

Won’t you hear me howling babe?

Don’t you hear me howling babe?

Once you hear me howling, once you hear me howling, once you hear me howling babe!
