If a man could be his own fantasy then to only breed in captivity Is pointless I've been doing what I like, When I like, how I like it's joyless Only you know me What a waste of war this peace, baby steps and two more sleeps Till I get to say sorry I get hysterical, historicals, of love it's just chemical Give us something to stop me Only you Know me Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday You don't know 'cause you're not there You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away Only you Know me I'm doin' fine and the sun often shines What are you thinking? I done bruised up my mind with this thunderbird wine Baby, I'm drinking Only you Know me Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday You don't know 'cause you're not there You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away Only you Know me Only you Know me Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday And you don't know 'cause you're not there You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away Only you Know me Only you Know me Only you Only you Only you Know me (Only you know me) All the way Waitin' for you, All my life Waitin' for you All my life Waitin' for you
