I KNOW
J And C Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was scared and unaware of what your touch might do
Trying to find it, couldn't hide it,
I was falling for you,
I lose control and I don't know if I can do this
'Cause every time I'm near you
Well, I just feel so helpless
I try to leave, but something brings me closer to you
I fall in love a little more each day
And I don't have the strength to stay away, so
Tonight I know, Tonight I know
Tonight I know,
I know, I know, Tonight I know,
Never been so sure about a single thing before, tonight I know

I'll be honest, I can't promise that this love won't change
Just can't ignore it, I love you more with every single day
And you should know, that I wont go,
I'm here forever
As long as time allows us, we'll always be together
'Cause you're the one and only love I've ever known

Tonight I know, tonight I know, tonight I know,
I know, I know.
Tonight I know,
Never been so sure about a single thing before,
Tonight, I know

Tonight I know, tonight I know, tonight I know,
I know, know, I know
Tonight I know,




Never been so sure about a single thing before,
Yeah, tonight, I'm yours

J. Cole - She Knows Lyrics
[Intro: J. Cole & Amber Coffman (Sampled)]
She knows
She knows, ayy
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly, I've never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me
I'm gonna run, run away (Oh, I), run run away, run away (Oh, I-I-I)
Run away and never come back (Well, all right)
Run run away, run run away (Oh, I), run away (Oh, I-I-I)
Show 'em that your color is black (Well, all right)

[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
You know I got a girl back home
You got a man what you want, what you want?
What these bitches want from a nigga?
On some DMX shit, huh
I know them other niggas love tricking
On some BMX shit, but not me
Now I'm sure you done heard about me
A black star, Mos Def, Kweli
Good so them bad hoes try me, they try me
This is Martin Luther King in the club, getting dubs
With a bad bitch in his ear, sayin' that she down for whatever
In the back of his mind is Coretta

[Chorus: J. Cole]
And she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
And deep down, she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows

[Refrain: J. Cole with Amber Coffman]
Well, all right, oh, I, oh, I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me, well, all right
Oh, I, oh, I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me, well, all right

[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Damned if I do, shit, damned if I don't
I'm passing up on bad hoes
Trying to be the man that she want, what she want?
What she—What she want from a nigga?
To put a ring on it
Got a bitch on my dick right now
And she just want to sing on it
Got me up so high, try and get a piece of that apple pie
I be up so high, try and get a piece of that apple pie
Dancehall vibes with my pants on fire
'Cause I told her I was sleep
'Cause I creep with this pretty young thing that I chose
She could be doing the same thing, I suppose

[Chorus: J. Cole]
And she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows
And deep down, she knows, she knows
And I know she knows, and I know she knows

[Refrain: J. Cole with Amber Coffman]
Well, all right, oh, I, oh, I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me, well, all right
Oh, I, oh, I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me, well, all right

[Bridge 1: J. Cole]
Niggas say, "Turn up," hoes say, "Turn up"
Only bad thing 'bout a star is they burn up
Niggas say, "Turn up," hoes say, "Turn up"
Only bad thing 'bout a star is they burn up
Rest in peace to Aaliyah
Rest in peace to Left Eye (Left Eye)
Michael Jackson, I'll see ya
Just as soon as I die (I die)

[Bridge 2: J. Cole]
Got me up so high, try and get a piece of that apple pie, uh
I be up so high, try and get a piece of that apple pie
Got me up so high, try and get a piece of that apple pie, uh
I be up so high, try and get a piece of that apple pie

[Refrain: J. Cole with Amber Coffman]
Well, all right, oh, I, oh, I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me, well, all right
Oh, I, oh, I-I-I
I can't be what you want from me, well, all right

[Outro: Amber Coffman (Sampled)]
Run away, run away— Back
Run away, run away— Back
Run away, run away— Back
Run away, run away— Back

Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me
I'm gonna run run away, run run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run run away, run run away, run away show ‘em that your color is black

She knows, she knows
Oh I, oh I-I-I
