If You Don't Know Me By Now

(album: I Miss You - 1972)

If you don't know me by now
You will never, never, never know me, ooh

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now, baby, I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to upset our happy home
Oh, don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
'Cause we only act like children when we argue, fuss and fight, hey-hey

If you don't know me by now (if you don't know me by now)
You will never, never, never know me (you'll never, never, never know me, eh hey)
If you don't know me by now (if you don't, if you don't know me, baby)
You will never, never, never know me (no you won't, eh hey)

We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine, woman, you got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together, that should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together, or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair when we can't see eye to eye, oh

If you don't know me by now (if you don't, if you don't know me, baby)
You will never, never, never know me (hey-hey, hey-hey, eh hey-hey)
If you don't know me by now (if you don't know me by now)
You will never, never, never know me (no you won't, oh)

If you don't know me by now (ten long years, ten long years we've been together)
You will never, never, never know me (if you don't know me by now, oh, oh, oh)
If you don't know me by now (you'll never, never, never know me)
