Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They said you were a mystery

I know you can't fool me

But still, I cave in

I gave you my heart

I cave in

I gave you my heart

[Verse 2]

Well hang on, hang on

I know you don't think I know

Well hold on, hold on

But I know, but I know, but I know

[Verse 3]

I always knew what you were

I always knew what you were

[Verse 4]

You came along

You came along

I got into your car

You came along

I knew I was wrong

I knew I would die

[Verse 5]

But still, I cave in

I gave you my heart

I cave in

I knew I would die

[Verse 6]

Well hang on, hang on

I know you don't think I know

Well hold on, hold on

But I know, but I know, but I know

[Verse 7]

I always knew what you were

I always knew what you were

[Verse 8]

Well hang on, hang on

I know you don't think I know

Well hold on, hold on

But I know, but I know, but I know

I always knew what you were

I always knew what you were
