I Know
Flamingo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know

How many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know

So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if I ask you darling
Don't confess

Just let it remain me and your secret
But darling I love you so




No wonder, no wonder I wonder
No, I really don't want to know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Flamingo's song I Know are about the curiosities and insecurities that arise in a relationship when one partner starts to wonder about their significant other's past. The singer asks how many arms and how many lips have held and kissed their partner. The questions suggest a sense of jealousy and insecurity around the possibility of the partner having been with others before them. However, the singer also says "I really don't want to know" which suggests that they would rather not know the answer to these questions, as it may destabilize their current relationship.


The singer acknowledges that the curiosity will always be there, but they don't want their partner to confess anything to them. They acknowledge that they love their partner, and want to keep that love pure and untainted by the knowledge of their past. In a way, the song is a bittersweet ode to the uncertainty and mystery that often accompanies love and relationships.

If he ever passes, part of my heart will too. He can be so sweet yet so sarcastic and dark humored at the same time. If he ever passed my life would be affected. Severely. He is part of the reason I found friends. He is the reason I have good humor. He is the reason I play roblox(and denis ofc :D)with no shame in me.
Not fangirling, js a person from the internet giving a good youtuber support.. maybe giving all my heart out on it 🤷‍♀️
