If I Know You - Gilbert Osullivan
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 fairy tales 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
