What He Doesn't Know, lyric by Lloyd Cole

from the songs album Don't Get Weird On Me Babe

If i told you that i'd never really cared
And if i told you that i'd never cried you'd know that i lied
You'd know i lied
And if i told you that i'd found somebody new
It wouldn't make it any easier and what he doesn't know
Won't hurt at all

You know just as well as i that he's a better man than i
And i know you know

Guess i never got around to telling you
I guess that if i told you now then i'd have nothing to lose
Well i think of you
'cause if i told you that i'd found another girl
It wouldn't make it any easier and what he doesn't know
Won't hurt at all

You know just as well as i that he's a better man than i
You know just as well as i, you know just as well as i
He's a better man than i, he's a better man than i could ever be
