I Know Him Too - Tift Merritt

I know you think that I’m just a stranger

Just a drinker he’s seen downtown

Someone he’d wave to on his way to meet you

But I know him too

Better than a «how you been?»

Oh, better than I wish I did

When you dance where I can see

I know you think you know him better

Wait a little longer, I know him too

I guess no one told you nobody can hold him

I guess his whispers still sound true

And his secrets, they’re still the same

As the ones I knew

Better than a «how you been?»

Oh, better than I wish I did

When you dance where I can see

I know you think you know him better

Wait a little longer, I know him too

Better than a «how you been?»

Oh, better than I wish I did

When you dance where I can see

I know you think you know him better

Wait a little longer, I know him too

Better than his «how you been?»

Oh, better than I wish I did

Go on, dance where I can see

Tonight you love him cause no one can tell him

Tonight no one can tell you

The way your eyes shine, soon they’ll be like mine

Cryin' cause I know him too

Better than a «how you been?»

Oh, better than I wish I did

When you dance where I can see

I know you think you know him better

Wait a little longer, I know him too

I know you think you know him better

Wait a little longer, I know him too
