Huff is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana; he is currently a student at the University of Oklahoma. Huff auditioned for the third season of American Idol in Houston, Texas; he was a member of the fourth group of semifinalists. He was actually not among those originally chosen for the semifinal round, but was put through when contestant Donnie Williams was disqualified for a drunk driving arrest.
Huff was not voted through to the final round from his group of semifinalists, but got another second chance when he was brought back for the wildcard round and put through as a finalist by contest judge Simon Cowell. During this period, New Orleans Fox Affiliate WVUE would hold specials including Huff's family cheering George on during the latest episodes.
On May 5, 2004, Huff was voted off in fifth place after two renditions of Fred Astaire's "Cheek to Cheek" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" during big band week.
His album, Miracles, was released by Word Records, on October 11, 2005. The first single off that album was Brighter Day. It sold a mere 18,000 copies.
In 2005 his Louisiana home was affected by Hurricane Katrina. He left New Orleans and stayed at his brother's house in Dallas. 1
You Know Me
George Huff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know me I'm a window you see through
When all the world is not at home your waiting for me at the door
And you let me in
It's all beautiful
When I stumble you bruise when I hurt myself it hurts you
So when I make you cry it makes me never want to fall again
You know me everything I do
You know me I'm a window you see through
The most foolish thing I could ever do
Is think that I could lie to you
And put up walls you'd see through them
'Cause you know me you know me you know the secrets and the scars
That's how into me you are 'cause you know me
In a street full of noise it's amazing how you can still hear my voice
And when I pull away you care enough to patiently wait
'Till I come back around like I am now
It's beyond beautiful
'Cause you know me you know me you know the secrets and the scars
That's how into me you are 'cause you know me
I'm a window you see through
When all the world is not at home
You know the secrets and the scars
That's how into me you are 'cause you know me

The imagery of being a window creates the impression that the singer has nothing to hide from this person because they can see right through him.
The chorus declares that the person knows all of the singer's secrets and scars, implying a level of intimacy that can only come from deep connection and trust. The line "When I make you cry, it makes me never want to fall again" highlights the depth of caring that the singer feels for this person, and how their pain impacts him. The song acknowledges that sometimes things get tough, but the love and connection are what make it all worthwhile.

George Huff - You Know Me
Minha humilde contribuição - Tradução Português - Brasil
Tu me conheces, tudo o que faço
Tu me conheces, eu sou uma janela que tu vês através
Quando todo o mundo não está em casa
Tu me esperas na porta
E Tu me deixas entrar, é tudo maravilhoso
Quando eu tropeço Tu tropeças
Quando eu me machuco, sim, isto dói em Ti
Então quando Te entristeço, isto faz-me querer nunca cair de novo
Eu sou pequeno. O Teu amor é imenso
Tu me conheces, tudo o que faço
Tu me conheces, eu sou uma janela que tu vês através
A coisa mais tola, que eu já mais poderia fazer
É achar que eu poderia mentir para Ti
E levantar paredes, Tu verias através de todas elas
Porque Tu me conheces, sim, Tu me conheces...
Tu sabes os segredos e as cicatrizes
Isso é como Tu estás em mim
Porque Tu me conheces, sim
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que faço
Em uma rua cheia de ruído
É incrível como Tu ainda podes ouvir a minha voz, seu incrível querer
E quando eu me afasto
Se importa o suficiente para esperar pacientemente
Até eu voltar ao redor, como estou agora
É mais do que maravilhoso
Porque Tu me conheces, Tu me conheces, sim
Tu sabes os segredos e as cicatrizes
Isso é como Tu estás mim. Tu estás, oh
Porque Tu me conheces, sim
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que eu faço
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que eu faço
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que eu faço
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que eu faço
Eu sou uma janela que Tu vês através
Todo o mundo não está em casa
Tu sabes os segredos e as cicatrizes
Isso é como Tu estás em mim
Porque, porque Tu me conheces, sim
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que eu faço
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que eu faço
Tu me conheces, cada pequena coisa que eu faço
