Who Knew
Keke Wyatt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sure that ya heard the rumors about me
Word on the street is I'm happy
But ya didn't care nothing 'bout that
Said I was the one you had to have
Knowing that I wasn't into to no games
Wasn't tryna take nobody's last name
But you changed my mind
Took me off the grind
Now I'm yours for life.

What if I never met you?
What would it take to get you?
This thing that you do, that can't nobody else do
What if you was still on the block?
Will this love we got make ya stop?
I don't wanna ever think about, can't do without it.

[Chorus]
Who knew?
It would be you changing my plans, stealing my heart?
Who knew?
You were the one just like me
Snatch a sista up and wifed me
Who knew that you would be my baby daddy?
Spending all ya hard-earned money on me
You came out the blue, boy I'm glad it's you
Tell me who knew?

Ain't nobody gonna take me
But you're the only one that ever shown me
What it's like to know real love
What it's like to get that good love
Getting turned on and getting turned out
Doing it so good that there's no doubt
There ain't never gonna be a time
That I'm not here and he ain't mine

What if I never met you?
What would it take to get you?
This thing that you do, that can't nobody else do
What if you was still on the block?
Will this love we got make ya stop?
I don't wanna ever think about, can't do without it.

[Chorus]

It coulda been you with some other chick
And it coulda been me with some other man
You coulda walked by and none of this would happen
Now we're shopping for baby's shoes
Now it's rings, bells, and a preacher too
Now we're forever
Tell me who knew





[Chorus]
