Some men have muscles They are muscle bound and on display Some men have money And a few of them think they can own me But it's you I know and no one else will do Yes it's you I know with all you put me through When I was driftin' down you pulled me up again And it's you I know, you'll love me to the end Some men think they're funny When the laughing stops you're on your own Some are familiar, before their real intentions are fully shown Sometimes I wonder if I know myself as well as I know you But it's you I know and no one else will do Yes it's you I know with all you put me throu-ough When I was driftin' down you pulled me up again And it's you I know, you love me to the end You could be anything, you could be anything you waant You could be everywhere, you could be everywhere at o-o-once You could have anyone, you don't need me to get you goin' You could have anyone, your sea is full to overflowin' I've seen them walking - through a market place in Florence I've heard them singing - in a foreign place in Spanish Sometimes I wonder if I know myself as well as I know you But it's you I know and no one else will do Yes it's you I know with all you put me through When I was driftin' down you pulled me up again And it's you I know, you love me to the e-e-end And it's you I know and no one else will do Yes it's you I know with all you put me through When I was driftin' down you pulled me up again And it's you I know, you love me to the e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-end To the e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-end But it's you I know and no one else will do Yes it's you I know with all you
