Lyrics

All the things that we've been through
 Darling, you should understand me like I understand you
 Honey, I know the difference between right and wrong
 I ain't gone do nothing to upset our happy home
 You don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
 Oh we act like children when we argue fuss and fight
 If you don't know me by now
 (If you don't)
 You will never
 (You'll never, never know me)
 Never know me
 If you don't know me by now
 (If you don't)
 You will never
 (You'll never, never know me)
 Never know me
 Oh, we all got our own funny moods
 Honey, I've got mine and you got yours too
 Just trust in me like I trust in you
 As long as we been together
 That should be so easy to do
 Oh you better get yourself together
 Or we might as well say goodbye, bye, bye, bye
 What good is a love affair if we can't see eye to eye
 If you don't know me by now
 (You'll never, you'll never, you ain't gonna know me)
 Never know me
 If you don't know me by now
 (If you don't know me)
 You will never
 (You'll never, never know me)
 Never know me
 Whoa baby, I thought you
 Oh I thought you knew me by now
 But you don't, oh baby, I know you
 I thought you knew me by now but you don't
 Ha, ha, ha
 Yeah, I like to do one of those ha, ha
 Sometimes you think you all knowing about them
 I think it's kinda like your ego gets in the way
 And you take for granted, somebody just knows
 What you're all about my dear and they just don't
 Awe shucks, I'm a try to talk to you suga
 You break your back and you break your legs
 And you break your faith
 Trying to make these people know you in life
 But somehow, they just don't want to try to
 So you say to yourself, "Is it something I said?
 Is it something I done, is it the way I look?
 Is it the way my clothes come unfasten?"
 And if that turns you off baby
 Then you ain't worth me anyway
 Screams so you fasten your clothes
 You check your speech and you check you drag
 And everything else, your face
 And you find out you're still in trouble
 So then you say to yourself, "Self is it worth it?"
 Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, no
 'Cause it's been ten long years
 This is the situation that I'm talkin' about
 Ten long years and if you don't know me
 I'm not try to prove myself no more
 You will never, never, never know me
 You'll go on, you'll go on and find yourself, someone else
 Because if you think your lonely now
 Wait until tonight comes
 'Cause I'll be somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
 I ain't gonna stop and try to prove myself to you
 Because you ain't gonna, you ain't gonna
 You ain't gonna, know me
 Know, know, know, know, know
 Know, know, know, know, know
