[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
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

[Verse 3]
You told me
You told me, please, try to remember before I walk away
Remember, it's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
'Cause only you know and I know
You know and I know
You know and I know the things we mean to say
Only you know and I know the things we mean to say

[Verse 4]
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]
You know and I know the things we mean to say, oh

[Outro]
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
Only you know and I know
