[Verse 1] Something's different, I can see it in your face You're distracted, always somewhere else in space You're laughing and you won't tell me why There's a light behind your eyes you can't disguise You cancel plans, then show up late and bright Checking your phone like it might take flight I know you, I can read you like a song Something's happening and it's been going on [Pre-Chorus] You think I haven't noticed, but I have You think you're playing cool and I'd never ask But I've been watching you for long enough And honey, I can tell when you're in love [Chorus] Old enough to know better, young enough to try Who is this boy you've been keeping from my eyes? Old enough to know better, oh but do you though? You've got that look that says you're letting yourself go Old enough to know better But are you? [Verse 2] Wearing perfume on a Tuesday afternoon Smiling at your phone and humming every tune You say you're fine, you say there's nothing new But you forget that I know everything you do You're running something — I can see you spin Half out of your head and loving what you're in I'm not worried, well, maybe just a bit Who is this man that's got you all lit? [Pre-Chorus] You think you're handling this like someone wise But you've got fireworks written in your eyes I've seen the way you hold your secrets close And those are the ones that get you the most [Chorus] Old enough to know better, young enough to fly Who is this boy you've been keeping on the side? Old enough to know better, oh but do you though? You've got that look that says you're letting yourself go Old enough to know better But are you? [Bridge] I'm not your mother, I'm your friend And friends ask questions in the end I'm not saying that you're wrong I'm just saying — how long? How long have you been keeping this from me? You're young, you're spinning, you're so free But I'm the one who sees the signs And darling, I can read between the lines [Chorus] Old enough to know better, young enough to burn Is he worth the secret? That's what I need to learn Old enough to know better — or does better even know? You've got that look that says you're ready, set to go Old enough to know better Are you? [Outro] Old enough… old enough… old enough to know (Are you? Are you?) Young enough to let it show (You are, you are) Old enough to know better — but maybe better's overrated Old enough… old enough…
