Corey
The Know How Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wrote my name onto your desk
I wrote your name with a heart
I knew it was something when we first met
I knew it was love from the very start
I'm thinking back to the time we spent late at home in the afternoon
Curled up in front of my TV for a romantic evening of Scooby Doo




Overall Meaning

The Know How's song Corey tells the story of a blossoming romantic relationship between two young people. The first two lines indicate that they have been infatuated with each other for some time, as they have taken to writing each other's names in places where they will be seen and remembered. This kind of teenage romanticism is sweet and innocent, but also somewhat naive, hinting at the emotional vulnerability of the singers.


The next two lines, "I knew it was something when we first met / I knew it was love from the very start," reveal the intensity of the emotions involved. While it may seem like a clichƩ, the idea that true love can manifest itself in an instant is a powerful one, and the fact that the characters in the song both feel this way adds to the romanticism of the lyrics. Later in the song, the singer reminisces about spending time with their love interest, watching Scooby Doo on TV, which adds a touch of nostalgia to the story.


Overall, the song Corey captures the sweet awkwardness, emotional intensity, and wistful nostalgia of teenage love. It is a reminder of the profound impact that our early romantic experiences can have on us and how they can shape our approach to relationships throughout our lives.

@Kevin Emmanuel show I realized a long time this chick is for the streets. She thinks she can finesse a relationship out of me and been pressing it hard lately. I been trying to find a nice way to let her know she ain't wife material. As trifling as she is, she been there for me when it counted, so I do value the friend in her. However,... she been feeling herself too much lately like I owe her something. So I was watching this episode on my phone while I did the dishes. 15 minutes in and I'm like yo she would snap if she heard this cuz this is EXACTLY who she is. I knew she was coming over but not what time, just so happens she arrives. I shoot downstairs to open the door and at the same time screen casting from my phone to the living room where I know she gonna be, because I got I got dishes to finish she can wait, especially so arriving unannounced. So, I'm doing dishes she in the living room. I pop in every couple minutes and each time she SNAPPING! WHO THE FUCK IS THIS!!??....Oh this Corey Holcomb 5150, your not familiar? He's my favorite comedian, definitely catching his show next time he in Philly. OH YOU WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY LIKE THIS....I chuckled and went back to dishes. Come back in... THIS SOME BULLSHIT HE JUST DOG WOMEN....Naw... he give credit when it's due, but that ain't what he on today, he talking bout RANCID bitches....so if it don't apply don't get upset....her jaw dropped. Back to dishes, finish dishes. I come back in the living room and she just looks disgusted, but can't turn away from the TV. I failed to mention she was supposed to be and was previously working on her laptop, by this time the laptop was closed, as she abandoned any and all attempts to work, in an effort to contemplate these strange feelings she was currently experiencing. I sat down and she proceeded to unload all the emotion Corey stirred up in her, which led to questions of, "is this how you feel about me?" This was my moment....A spirit came over me, and possessed my tongue to put together the MOST eloquent combination of words with a core message of " Yes, this is what I think of you, your only purpose is to wet my meat. Now here's the best part,..... she still gave me top and cheeks thinking it would change my mind. Fuckin sad yo forreal....long story longer, she gets home and calls me, because she was hurt by what I told her, but then, but THEN, BUT THEN!!!!!....I told her bout all the shit she thought I didn't know about, names, dates, pics all that shot. See, I gave her too many chances to humble herself, but she thought she was smarter than me and mad ethe mistake of saying she "darker than me" Challenge accepted... I'll tell this bitch EVERYTHING she wanna hear just to leave her at the alter....trust me, without going into detail, she deserves it. She really shouldn't have challenged me, now I'm going for the killshot.

@McMore Lane exactly . Itā€™s just being lazy and not articulating his words correctly . If you want to do that while talking to your homeboys then fine but not while in a show where 1000ā€™s are watching and listening . Somebody need to tell him to stop because itā€™s not cool or funny in fact itā€™s annoying
