Let me tell you about a boy I know He thinks he'll get the best of me He'll try to win my affection With a fancy selection of sweet talking _?_?_?_?_ My momma had told me What my momma done told me Is what this is leading to
Well a girl should know better And I do
Now don't say he's cute Got a funny taboo Now he does his money spending on me I let him see me a lot I figure why not There's one place that I could be But I have to remind him That he'll shudder to find Himself a girl he could be boss to
But a girl should know better And I do
I wasn't born yesterday My girls gotta grow up fast these days All these men seem nice at first After a while they get bad and get worse
Well my momma did teach me Why I shouldn't let you reach me And the bad lesson of this But lala lala laa lala lala laa And I feel it when we kiss And when the preacher asks If I'm ready for the task To love and honor you
I say a girl should know better I do
And when the preacher asks If I'm ready for the task To love and honor you I say a girl should know better And I do
I say a girl should know better Oh yes I do
I say a girl should know better And I do*

Recorded live at CBGB club, 15 Aug 1975
They're playing a very early Blondie song entitled "A Girl Should Know Better" that never wound up on any album.
"It was hard to concentrate at CBGB's because it smelled so bad," Harry wrote in the band's official biography. "Hill Kristal, the owner, kept dogs in the back, and they used to throw up and shit indiscriminately. The kitchen was covered with grease, rats, flies, maggots, and shit too." Blondie played CBGB every weekend through much of 1975, but after signing with Chrysalis they worked their way up to the more upscale Max's Kansas City, and by early 1977 they were playing all across the country.
