If You Don't Know Me by Now

All the things that we've been through

Darling, you should understand me like I understand you

Honey, I know the difference between right and wrong

I ain't 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

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

Honey, 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 can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me by now

(You'll never, you'll never, you ain't gonna know me)

Never know me

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

Yeah, I like to do one of those ha, ha

Sometimes you think you all knowing about them

I think it's kinda like your ego gets in the way

And you take for granted, somebody just knows

What you're 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 ain't 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 you're 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 I'm 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 ain't gonna stop and try to prove myself to you

Because you ain't gonna, you ain't gonna

You ain't gonna, know me

Know, know, know, know, know

Know, know, know, know, know
