You Know
Annie Scherer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much I do
Still love you
Yes you do
I'd stay, I'd stay, I'd stay, I'd stay
If you had too
But you left me blue
When you went away
Despite all your bad behavior
And though things are changing
I still want you baby anyway
I don't want to cave in
Clear my thoughts and clean the mess you made
You know, you know, you know, you know
That what you are
Is magnetic charge
I can't get far
And I don't know why you even try
It's been a while since you were here
And though things are changing
I still want you baby anyway
I don't want to cave in
Clear my thoughts and clean the mess you made
You always know what to say but I'm not gonna break
And I've lost count of my mistakes, but you won't make the grade
And I still see you in brilliance
I'd meet you at a distance
And though things are changing
I still want you baby anyway
I don't want to cave in
Clear my thoughts and clean the mess you made
You know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know
