[Verse 1]
You know, we really only wanna hear
The things we like to say
But if I said to you, "Please, don't do it"
You do it anyway
Sometimes, I know we gotta be cruel
Be cruel to be kind
When I ask you, "What you see in me?"
You say "Our love is blind"

[Chorus]
'Cause only you know, and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know, and I know
The things we mean to say, oh

[Verse 2]
Whenever I think I know you better
Better than I know myself
Ooh, I open up and give you everything
Then you say, "Okay, what else?"
And when I run away, you always cry
You always overreact
But I don't know if you know how you really feel
But you better know before I get back
[Chorus]
'Cause only you know, and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say

[Bridge]
Just try to remember
Now, I'm the one you love
You told me, ooh, try to remember
I'm the one you're always thinking of
You told me, please, try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember, it's not good enough
Telling me the way it was yesterday, ah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
'Cause only you know, and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Yes, only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
[Outro]
Only you know and I know
Ah, only you know and I know
