Only You Know And I Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only you know and I know
All the love we've got to show,
So don't refuse to believe it
By reading too many meanings.
'Cause you know that I mean what I say,
So don't go and take me the wrong way.
You know you can't go on getting your own way,
'Cause if you do, it's going to get you someday.
I don't mean to mislead you,
It's just my craziness coming through.
But when it comes down to just two,
I ain't no crazier than you.
Chorus
Yeah yeah yeah, you don't need to be pleasing.
No no no, not deceiving.
But it's hard to believe in
When you've been so mistreated.
Chorus
Only you know and I know.
Only you know and I know.
