If a man could beat his own fancy
  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 all this peace ,
  Baby   steps and two more sleeps
  Till I get to say sorry
  I get hysterical,   historical and love is just chemical
  Give us something to stop me
  Only you   know me
 
  Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
  You don't know   cos you're not there
  You simply found the words
  To make all of my feelings   fade away
  Only you know me
 
  I'm doin' fine and the sun often   shines
  What are you thinking?
  At the worst of 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 cos you're not there
  You   simply found the words
  To make all of my feelings fade away
  Only you know   me
  Only you know me
 
  Since you went away, my heart breaks   everyday
  You don't know cos you're not there
  You simply found the   words
  To make all of my feelings fade away
  Only you know me
  Only you   know me
  Only you
  Only you
  Only you know me
