I Know What I Know (with Ladysmith Black Mambazo) Songtext
von Paul Simon

She looked me over and I guess she thought I was all right
All right in a sort of a limited way Ffor an off-night
She said don′t I know you from the cinematographer's party
I said who am I to blow against the wind

I know what I know
I′ll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
In the back of my head
I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That′s a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

She said there′s something about you that really reminds me of money
She is the kind of a girl who could say things that weren't that funny
I said what does that mean I really remind you of money
She said who am I to blow against the wind


I know what I know
I′ll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
In the back of my head
I know what I know
I′ll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
In the back of my head
In the back of my head to the back of my head
To the back of my head to the back of my head

She moved so easily all I could think of was sunlight
I said aren′t you the woman who was recently given a Fullbright
She said don't I know you from the cinematographer's party
I said who am I to blow against the wind

I know what I know
I′ll sing what I said
We come and we go
That′s a thing that I keep
In the back of my head
I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That′s a thing that I keep
In the back of my head
In the back of my head to the back of my head
To the back of my head, in the back of my head


(I know what I know)
I know what I know
(We come and we go)
We come and we go
(I know what I know)
I know what I know
(We come and we go)
We come and we go

In the back of my head to the back of my head, to the back of my head
To the back of my head, in the back of my head, to the back of my head
In the back of my head to the back of my head, to the back of my head
I kno-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow what I kno-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow
