I Know
Johnny Kidd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more, no no more
And I don't want to be hurt anymore
Anymore
I, I've been a fool
Everything I did was so wrong
If I can't love you right, baby
I don't have to love you at all
Well, I know you don't want me no more
No more, no no more
And if there had to be someone loving you more
Loving you more
If there's no use in me crying now
All because you have to put me down
If you don't want me no more baby
Ain't no use in your hangin' round
(instrumental break)
Well, I know you don't love me no more
No more, no no more
And I don't want to be hurt anymore
Anymore
I, I've been a fool
Everything I did was so wrong
If I can't love you right, baby
I don't have to love you at all
Yeah, but I know, yeah I know
Know know know, know know know
I know you don't love me,
You don't love me anymore
(improvise to fade)
The above lyrics are from the song "I Know" by Johnny Kidd. It starts with the singer acknowledging that he knows that the person he loves no longer wants him. He then expresses that he doesn't want to be hurt anymore and that he has been a fool, acknowledging that everything he did was wrong. The singer even goes to the extent of saying that if he can't love the person right, he doesn't want to love them at all.
The second verse is a repetition of the first, reinforcing the idea that the person doesn't love him anymore, and he doesn't want to be hurt by them anymore. He acknowledges that someone else might love the person more than he ever could, and if that were to happen, there is no use in him crying or holding on to the past. In the final verse, the singer reiterates that he doesn't want to be hurt anymore and acknowledges that he was a fool. He ends by saying that he knows the person no longer loves him and improvises the lines to fade.
Overall, the song conveys pain and heartbreak. The lyrics are simple, direct, and honest. The singer acknowledges his faults, accepts that he was wrong, and tries to find closure by accepting that the person doesn't love him anymore.

I know you don't want me no more
I am aware that you no longer desire me
No more, no no more
You have completely lost interest in me
And I don't want to be hurt anymore
I cannot bear any more emotional pain
Anymore
I have had enough of this suffering
I, I've been a fool
I acted foolishly in our relationship
Everything I did was so wrong
All my actions caused harm to us
If I can't love you right, baby
If I cannot give you the love you deserve
I don't have to love you at all
Then it's better for us to part ways
Well, I know you don't want me no more
I am certain of your lack of interest
And if there had to be someone loving you more
If someone else can provide more love than I did
Loving you more
Giving you greater affection than I could provide
If there's no use in me crying now
Crying won't change the situation anymore
All because you have to put me down
You rejected me and caused me great pain

If you have lost interest in me
Ain't no use in your hangin' round
There is no reason for you to stay
Well, I know you don't love me no more

And I don't want to be hurt anymore
I cannot bear further emotional pain
Yeah, but I know, yeah I know
Even though it hurts, I am aware
Know know know, know know know
I am certain of your lack of love
I know you don't love me,
I am certain you don't have affection for me
You don't love me anymore
You have lost interest and love for me

I'm a Japanese teenager girl.
My favorite Japanese guitarist respected Mick Green.
So I learned about Johnny Kidd & The Pirates.
I wanted to listen to various songs from this band and I bought the best album CD
And now I like it!
There are very few Japanese who are aware of it
So I think that it would be better if the goodness of this is conveyed to them.
(Maybe my English is something wrong.
But please don't care about it.)
