If You Don't Know Me by Now Lyrics

[00:16.61] If you don't know me by now
[00:23.37] You will never, never, never know me, ooh, ooh-ooh
[00:33.89] All the things that we've been through
[00:41.49] You should understand me, like I understand you
[00:48.69] Now girl, I know the difference between right and wrong
[00:56.52] I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
[01:03.93] Oh, don't get so excited
[01:07.88] I come home a little late at night
[01:11.85] 'Cause we only act like children
[01:15.54] When we argue, fuss and fight
[01:18.30] If you don't know me by now (if you don't know me)
[01:24.09] You will never, never, never know me (no, won't, ooh)
[01:33.32] If you don't know me by now
[01:39.98] You will never, never, never know me, ooh, ooh-ooh
[01:50.35] We've all got our own funny moods
[01:58.22] I've got mine, woman, you've got yours too
[02:05.61] Just trust in me like I trust in you
[02:13.12] As long as we've been together
[02:17.09] It should be so easy to do
[02:21.07] Just get yourself together
[02:24.35] Or we might as well say goodbye
[02:28.74] What good is a love affair?
[02:32.01] When you can't see eye to eye
[02:34.85] If you don't know me by now (if you don't know me)
[02:40.70] You will never, never know me (no, you won't, ooh, ooh-ooh)
[02:49.98] If you don't know me by now
[02:56.16] You will never, never, never know me, ooh, ooh-ooh
[03:05.48] If you don't know me by now, ooh-ooh
[03:11.64] You will never, never, never know me
[03:24.08]
