I Knew You When - Joe South

I knew you when you were lonely

And I knew you when you were only

A girl, all alone without love

(I knew you when)

I knew you when

You were sad and all alone

You didn’t have anyone

That you could call your own

(I knew you when)

I knew you when

Your heart belonged to only me But that was many tears ago

Now your love is just a memory

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I knew you when you were lonely

And I knew you when you were only

A girl, all alone without love

(I knew you when)

I knew you when

We used to have a lot of fun

But someone new could offer more

Now I’m the lonely one

(I knew you when)

I knew you when

You were just a scared little girl

I used to be your only love

Before you came up in the world

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I knew you when you were lonely

And I knew you when you were only

A girl, all alone without love

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when
