I Know You Well Songtext
A good fight half won
A good scotch half gone
And I'll never win Mr. Congeniality
I bs'd once again
She acquiesced
And I got off on a technicality
I've always loved our little wars
Treaties we sign behind closed doors
I may concede but I will not bleed
I will not bleed
The James Dean the prom queen
Impractical fascination
Having its way again
She knows Astaire's got nothing on me
When I take her out tonight
When I take her out tonight
I've always loved the way you dance
How you defy our circumstance
There may not be more than I see
More than I see
C'est la vie
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well boy
And before the dawn comes you'll be gone
It's symbiotic
It's a sweet narcotic
Not a futile search for romantic perfection
That's too much trouble
So make mine a double
My head's a very scary neighborhood
Don't wanna walk it alone
Thought I had something more to say
Before you kissed my neck that way
I'll let it be
That works for me
So c'est la vie
C'est la vie
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well boy
And before the dawn comes you'll be gone
You know me well (I know you well)
You know me well (I know you well)
I know you well girl
And tomorrow we might just move on
A good scotch half gone
And I'll never win Mr. Congeniality
I bs'd once again
She acquiesced
And I got off on a technicality
I've always loved our little wars
Treaties we sign behind closed doors
I may concede but I will not bleed
I will not bleed
The James Dean the prom queen
Impractical fascination
Having its way again
She knows Astaire's got nothing on me
When I take her out tonight
When I take her out tonight
I've always loved the way you dance
How you defy our circumstance
There may not be more than I see
More than I see
C'est la vie
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well boy
And before the dawn comes you'll be gone
It's symbiotic
It's a sweet narcotic
Not a futile search for romantic perfection
That's too much trouble
So make mine a double
My head's a very scary neighborhood
Don't wanna walk it alone
Thought I had something more to say
Before you kissed my neck that way
I'll let it be
That works for me
So c'est la vie
C'est la vie
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well (you know me well)
I know you well boy
And before the dawn comes you'll be gone
You know me well (I know you well)
You know me well (I know you well)
I know you well girl
And tomorrow we might just move on
