I Know You Know - Esperanza Spalding

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

You already know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

I know that you know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

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

You already know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

I know that you know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

You already know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

You already know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

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

You already know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

I know that you know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

You already know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

I know that you know but I’ll sing it again:

I love you babe and nothing’ll take me away

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
