Gilbert O`sullivan If I Know You Lyrics

If I Know You Lyrics

I should have known from the start this would happen

 From the moment we went anywhere

 If other women so much as looked at me

 You'd be Screaming blue murder. I swear

 And yet you say that my leaving doesn't hurt you in the least

 But even if that's true

 You'll do all in your power to destroy me

 If I know you

 

 You never once in the time spent together

 Even loved me with half of your heart

 Okay you gave me the world and I took it

 But I was young then and eager to start

 And yet despite you declaring. you understand the way I feel

 Now that we are through

 You'll do all in your power to destroy me

 If I know you

 

 What on earth possesses children to abandon fairytales

 Are we simply getting old

 Or as parents have we just failed

 

 I never stopped wanting you for a second

 In all the time I was with you I swear

 But I will not spend my life with a woman

 Who thinks that love is a state of affairs

 And yet you say you're not bitter, we had one too many years

 But even if that's true

 You'll do all in your power to destroy me

 If I know you

 

 What on earth possesses people

 To destroy each others homes

 Are we really all as bad

 As the TV cameras have Shown

 

 You say how much you respect what I'm doing

 You say how high you regard my ideas

 And yet for years as I stood in the background

 You never once let me up off my knees
