I Know Songtext
von Syl Johnson

What′s the use of me crying
When I know it won't do no good?
What′s the use of me lyin'?
Said I won't, and I know I would

But I know (I know you′re gone away)
I know (I know you′re gone to stay)
I know (I believe without a doubt)
You don't love me no more

What′s the use of me pretending
That I have, but I know I don't?
What′s the use of me begging you, darling
To stay when I know you won't?

But I know (I know you′re gone away)
And I know (I know you're gone to stay)
I know (I believe without a doubt)
You don't love me no more


I know I did you wrong
That′s why you′re leaving home, and I can't blame you for that
But now you said goodbye, I know that we′ve arrived
I know you won't be coming back

What′s the use of me staying at home
In the midnight by myself?
What's the use of me hangin′ around
Might as well find somebody else

But I know (I know you're gone away)
Yeah, I know (I know you're gone to stay)
I know (I believe without a doubt)
You don′t love me no more

I know I did you wrong
That′s why you're leaving home, and I can′t blame you for that
But now you said goodbye, I know that we've arrived
I know you won′t be coming back

What's the use of me pretending
That I have but I know I don′t?
What's the use of me begging you, baby
To stay when I know you won't?


But I know (I know you′re gone away)
I know, I know (I know you′re gone to stay)
I know, I know, I know, I know, baby
(I know you're gone away) you don′t love me no more, baby
I know you're gone to stay
I know, I know
