Now I Know
Ken Boothe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I know, now that you don't love me no more, no more
You took my love and now you're gone, gone
You took my love and now you're gone

People say that you're not my kind, my kind
But you're always on my mind, my mind
Oh, you are always on my mind
Oh, you know I tried my best to give you happiness
Since the day, since the day we met
But it's so clear, my dear, you're treating me so unfair
Baby, I love you, yes, I love you but you don't care, care

People say that you're not my kind, my kind
But you're always on my mind, my mind
Oh, you are always on my mind




Oh, now I know that you are always on my mind
Now I know that love
