  • This is a simple song, gonna write it for a friend
    My shirt is inside out, I'm messy with the pen
    He met Margaret on our rooftop, she was wearing white
    And he was like, "I might be in trouble"
    He had flashes of the good life
    He was like, "Should I jump off this building now or do it on the double?"

    'Cause, baby, if your love is in trouble
    Baby, if your love is in trouble
    Baby, if your love is in trouble

    When you know, you know
    When you know, you know
    It kinda makes me laugh, runnin' down that path
    When you're good as gold
    'Cause when you know, you know

    Word to all my friends
    With their red flags, their white knights
    Their black eyes and their blue lies
    If you're asking yourself, "How do you know?"
    Then that's your answer, the answer is, "No"
    You gotta run, run, run, run like your head's on fire
    Run away like your head is on fire

    'Cause, baby, if your love is in trouble
    Baby, if your love is in trouble
    Baby, if your love is in trouble

    When you know, you know
    When you know, you know
    It kinda makes me laugh, runnin' down that path
    When you're good as gold
    'Cause when you know, you know
    When you're old, you're old
    Like Hollywood and me, the diamond on your ring
    The soul that you bring to the table
    One that makes me sing
    In a minor key

    'Cause when you know, you know
    When you know, you know
    So if you don't know, don't give up
    'Cause you never know what the new day might bring

    Maybe tomorrow, you'll know
    Maybe tomorrow, you'll know
    Maybe tomorrow, you'll know
    I mean, join the party
    By the way
    The party is December 18
    Alright, let's waltz this out, 'cause

    'Cause when you know, you know
    And when you're old, you're old
    Like Hollywood and me, that diamond on your ring
    The soul that you bring to the table
    One that makes me sing
    In a minor key
    Diamond on your ring
    'Cause when you know, you know
    When you know, you know Writer/s: Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, Jack Michael Antonoff
