Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The way you look at me when you think I'm not looking tells me
Your heart's a sleeping giant worn out by someone you loved before me
I see you're scared, unconvinced by what I've tried to say
That I am yours and that nothing will take me away
[Chorus]
You already know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
I know that you know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
[Verse 2]
The way you always call me with some question, and every time
Try to pretend you didn't call me just 'cause I was on your mind
Too soon for you to say out loud, but I know
You love me, and though we don't say, it already shows
[Chorus]
You already know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
I know that you know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
You already know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
You already know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
[Bridge]
I wait for you to open up, but it's not a bore
You're just what I've been looking for
Why do you keep your head in the sand?
Whoever you loved before me that ran nothing like me
Nothing like me
Nothing like me
[Chorus]
You already know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
I know that you know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
You already know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
I know that you know, but I'll sing it again
I love you, babe, and nothing will take me away
[Verse 3]
The way you look at me when you think I'm not looking
The way you call me up just to see what's cooking
The way you look at me when you think I'm not looking
I look at you that way, too, you just don't know that I do
I know that you know
You already know
[Outro]
I know you know
And I, I know it shows that I know you know
How much you love me, baby
I can see you love me, I know
I already know, but
Sing it again, sing it again
