  • If a man could be his own fantasy then to only breed in captivity
    Is pointless
    I've been doing what I like
    When I like, how I like it's joyless
    Only you know me

    What a waste of war this peace, baby steps and two more sleeps
    'Til I get to say sorry
    I get hysterical, historicals, of love it's just chemical
    Give us something to stop me
    Only you
    Know me

    Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
    You don't know 'cause you're not there
    You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
    Only you
    Know me

    I'm doin' fine and the sun often shines
    What are you thinking?
    I done bruised up my mind with this thunderbird wine
    Baby, I'm drinking
    Only you
    Know me

    Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
    You don't know 'cause you're not there
    You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
    Only you
    Know me
    Only you
    Know me

    Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
    And you don't know 'cause you're not there
    You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
    Only you
    Know me
    Only you
    Know me
    Only you
    Only you
    Only you
    Know me (only you know me)

    All the way
    Waitin' for you
    All my life
    Waitin' for you
    All my life
    Waitin' for you Writer/s: Daniel Spencer Mould, Francoise Hardy, Kelvin Andrews, Robert Peter Williams
