If You Don't Know Me by Now Lyrics

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 girl, I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to break up 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

If you don't know me by now (if you don't know me)
You will never, never, never know me (no, you won't), ooh
If you don't know me by now
You will never, never, never know me, ooh

We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine, woman, you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do

Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye? Oh

If you don't know me by now (if you don't know me)
You will never, never, never know me (no, you won't), ooh
If you don't know me by now
You will never, never, never know me, ooh

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