"'You Know Me Better Than That'" is a song written by Anna Lisa Graham and Tony Haselden, and recorded by American country music artist George Strait. It was released in June 1991 as the second single from his album 'Chill of an Early Fall'. It peaked at number 1 on both the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and the Canadian 'RPM' Country Tracks chart.

Content



The song is an uptempo, in which the narrator confides in the significant other who dumped him. He informs her of a sophisticated new girlfriend who idolizes him, but this only displeases him. Likewise, he is haunted by his many flaws, which the former girlfriend knows all too well, and he feels certain that the new girlfriend will eventually realize his inadequacies, and is clearly pining for his old life. It is a rare song in that it deals with the "Impostor syndrome," the belief that one's good fortune is undeserved and likely to disappear.
