Now I Know You Know – Lyrics

Now I know you know I tried to love you so and now I have to go

You sound so inspiring when you pledged your support, but I’ve learned how to read right between the lines and see into your thoughts
The game that you’re playing – you know you almost had a win, but I had a hunch of my own, you see, and followed it to the end
Now I don’t have hard feelings against you
You only did what you had to do
But the time has come to let you know I know about the loving show

Now I know you know how I tried to love you so and now I have to go

I’ve said that my music will play second love to none, but you haven’t learned to love yourself, you had to be the only one
The way that I feel, I really want you to succeed, so I don’t understand why you simply can’t recognize my needs
Well, I don’t have hard feelings against you
I guess you only did what you had to do, but the time has come to let you know I know about the loving show

Now I know you know how I tried to love you so and now I have to go
Now I know you know how I tried to love you so and now I have to go

I got a right to live and be in love with music, so fancy free
