[Verse 1]
I talked to my girlfriends yesterday
They reminded me of when you had me cryin' in my car
And when you came to my barbecue, they all gave you attitude
Well, shoot, every reason they mad at you is true
[Pre-Chorus]
But we promised to make up
Even if it's gon' take us
All of our lives
I'm willin' to give it another try
We need to do this like
Love's on the line
This time
[Chorus]
Boy, you know you better
Ooh, you know you better
Boy, you know you bettеr watch out
'Cause, boy, you know me bettеr
You know me so much better
You know that I don't break up twice
[Verse 2]
And my love so good it hurts
You make it work 'cause you know my worth
And I can have any man I want
But I never had nobody with a love like you
It would be a shame not to see this through
Who gon' put up with your Gemini shit like I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
But we promised to make up
Even if it's gon' take us
All of our lives
I'm willin' to give it another try
We need to do this like
Love's on the line
Real love, it takes time
[Chorus]
Boy, you know you better
Ooh, you know you better
Boy, you know you better watch out
'Cause, boy, you know me better
You know me so much better
You know that I don't break up
You know that I don't break up twice
[Outro]
(Takes time) Ooh
(Takes time) Oh
(Takes time) Hey-hey (It's a real thing)
Boy, you know you better (Takes time)
Hey (Takes time)
You know that I don't break up twice

This is my second dream collab: Mark Ronson. And let me tell you, this is quintessential Mark. His style and swag is inescapable. Working with him made me feel like a kid again, because you just jam. And I used to be in a rock band, so that’s my bread and butter. When I first heard the guitar part,...
