Below, you will find the lyrics for I Know Better by John Legend.
Verse 1
They say sing what you know
But i've sung what they want
Some folks do what they're told
But baby this time i won't
When i look through that door
I know the truth from lie
Some things i've done before i can't justify
Chorus 1
There are kings in my past
Things no one can be proud of
But i stand in the light i've cast
And turn away from any lack of love
When i walked through that door
I say here i go
You see me and nothing more
I'm singing what i know
I know better
I know better
Verse 2
Legend is just a name
I know better than to be so proud
I won't drink in all this fame
I'll take more love than i'm allowed
Chorus 2
I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
My history has brought me to this place
This power and the color of my face
And i know better
I know better
Bridge
I'll rise from the floor if i don't win
I'll bust open that door so let me in
And if music chooses me to sing i let her
I'll sing what i know, yes
I know better, yes
I know better
I know better
