It was written on my mind
Like the back of an envelope
Rehearsed and very carefully in reach

My cool cucumber non-committal speech
That I wrote while hanging out down at the beach
And I shivered from the cold of the ice in my granite heart

Knowing that you didn't have a prayer
And then I rang the bell and you were there and darling
Then your face was full of me

And then your eyes were too
And I knew, that you knew that I knew that
You knew that I knew that you knew that

I knew that you knew that I knew

I regained my self-control and I tried to close my big fat mouth

Before 'I love you' fell out on the floor
I didn't feel like that man anymore
I hit my funny elbow on the floor

And then your brother asked if I had money for a haircut
And the pimple on my neck began to hurt
Suddenly I wished I'd changed my shirt and darling

Then your face was full of me
And then your eyes were too
And I knew that you knew that I knew that

You knew that I knew that you knew that
I knew that you knew that I knew
