I Like You Better Before Lyrics - Imani Coppola

I liked you better before you knew me 

You didnt smoke cigarettes 

You didnt drink coffee 

Drank moderately, now youre an alkie 

You didnt even curse when I was a mystery 

Back then, back when you didnt know me at all 

I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye 

You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue 

But seems I brought the worst out in you 

One day I passed by your apartment 

Thinking that Id catch some girl 

Kiss you goodbye with a lingering kiss 

I know we broke up, Ill get out of this faze 

My imagination gets the best of me 

You end up getting the rest of me 

The obsessed, crazy, drama queen 

If you know what I mean 

Anyway, youre never there 

You could be anywhere 

On an airplane, maybe in a car 

On a world tour being a superstar 

I liked you better 

When you didnt know no better 

You didnt think that I was, I was the antichrist 

I liked you better 

Before you got a stylist 

When friendship bracelets sufficed, but now your wrists are iced 

I liked you better before you knew me 

You didnt smoke cigarettes 

You didnt drink coffee 

Drank moderately, now youre an alkie 

You didnt even curse when I was a mystery 

Back then, back when you didnt know me at all 

I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye 

You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue 

But seems I brought the worst out in you 

Five stages of breaking up started with denial 

Fuck, we were just taking off for a while 

Thought it was permanent 

Better get myself some anger management 

Bargaining was the next phase 

Gave my word that I changed my ways 

I swear to God Ill be a freakin little angel 

Please just stop putting me through hell 

But he didnt buy what I was selling 

I spent about a month on Saturn dwelling on the past 

At last it occurred to me 

You didnt give a damn 

Time to get with the program 

I liked you better 

When you werent popular 

Before your friends started calling me (Na, na, na, na, na) 

The psycho bitch 

Trends didnt matter to you 

But now youre all into the way you look 

Your iPhone ringing off the hook 

And my new ringtone is the theme of the Wicked Witch 

I liked you better before you knew me 

You didnt smoke cigarettes 

You didnt drink coffee 

Drank moderately, now youre an alkie 

You didnt even curse when I was a mystery 

Back then, back when you didnt know me at all 

I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye 

You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue 

But seems I brought the worst out in you 

Its like night and day 

Its like Jekyll and Hyde 

Ive created a monster 

Its alive! 

I miss the person I was 

Before I became possessed 

And the object of everything you detest 

I liked you better before you knew me 

I liked you better before you knew me 

Back then, back when you didnt know me at all 

I liked you better before you knew me 

I liked you better before you knew me 

You didnt smoke cigarettes 

You didnt drink coffee 

Drank moderately, now youre an alkie 

You didnt even curse when I was a mystery 

Back then, back when you didnt know me at all 

I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye 

You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue 

But seems I brought the worst out in you
