If You Don't Know Me By Now

informe o(s) compositor(es)

All the things that we've been through, darling you should understand me like I understand you.

Hunny I know the difference between right and wrong, I aint 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

Patti Screams

(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. Hunny 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 cant see eye to eye.

If you dont know me by now(You'll never. You'll never. You aint gonna know me), never know me)

Patti Screams

(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.

Yea I like to do one of those ha, ha.

Sometimes you think you all knowing about them.

I think its kinda like your ego gets in the way, and you take for granted somebody just knows what your 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 aint 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 your 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 Im 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 aint gonna stop and try to prove myself to you. Because u aint gonna, u aint gonna,

U aint gonna, know me.

Know know know know know know know know know know…..

(until she fades)
