  • I was making out then that I was fine and light
    Oh, maybe you could do anything that you want tonight

    But, oh, do you have to know me, know me inside out?
    Do you have to know me, know me inside out?

    I was holding on hope for a kind of friend
    Oh, the blazing inferno of fuck-ups kind of got in my way

    So, oh, do you have to know me, know me inside out?
    Do you have to know me, know me inside out
    To have a good time?

    Holding hands back of the ride home
    Baby, you're looking like you're out to kill
    I'm selfish and I'm lonely
    Arm's length, small talk, and then some company

    But, oh, do you have to know me, know me inside out?
    Do you have to know me, know me inside out?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me inside out
    To have a good time?

    Oh, to have a good time
    Have a good time
    Have a good time

    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
    Do you have to know me, know me, know me? Writer/s: Sam Fender
