Don't Know Better 'Til You Do

Missed your calls on the phone
Let you listen to the dial tone
When I knew very well
We were both alone

Skipped a holiday or two
I’d have booked a ticket if I only knew
That you had a few left in you

Well I should’ve done better by you
Should’ve done better by you
I should've’ done better but you don’t know better till you do

My mind goes blank at our last fight
Cried when the news broke last night
I was waiting on you to make things right

I admit that pride gets my tongue
But you and I are of the same blood
And you play that game better than I could

Well I should’ve done better by you
I should’ve done better by you
I should’ve done better but you don’t know better till you do

Leave the light on my love in case you find a way back home
Leave the light on my love in case you find a way back home

And I should’ve done better by you
I should’ve done better by you
I should’ve done better by you
But you don’t know better till you do

I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year
And every happiness that you wished for
And your health
And I just want you to be happy in 2019

So that's all Mama wants
Anyway, I'm sure you probably have plans with friends
Or going out or maybe staying home
I don't know what you have going on

But anyway I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year early
In case we don't get to talk
I love you
Bye
