Only You Know Lyrics

We know you really only wanna hear

The things we like to say

But if I said to you please dont do it

You do it anyway

Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel

Be cruel to be kind

When I ask you, what you see in me

You say our love is blind

Cos only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Whenever I think I know you better
Better than I know myself

I open up and give you everything

Then you say, o.k. what else

And when I run away you always cry

You always over react

But I dont know if you know how you really feel

But you better know before I get back

Cos only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Just try to remember

Now Im the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember

Im the one youre always thinking of

You told me, please try to remember

Before I walk away

Remember

Its not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday

Cos only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know

The things we mean to say, yes

Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
