You Know

Damn all those people who don't lose control
Who will never take a foot out of life
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know

And damn all those hippies who stomp empty-footed
Upon all what's good, all what's pure of the world
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know

And bless all those mothers who do all they can
Just to take their faults out of the line
I might not know what it's like
But I'm glad that you know

Give me a minute there, just a minute now
It'll come back to me
I was so sure, but you, freewheelin' troubadour
You took my mind off the scene
And you know when I know, then I know
I know that you know

You asked me blind once if I was a child once
And I said I'm really not sure
How can you know, how can you know
What it is you don't know?

We were a pair once of, oh, such despair, oh
We were a child then, I'm sure
If we were a child then, we are children no more

Give me a minute there, just a minute now
It'll come back to me
I was so sure, but you, freewheelin' troubadour
You took my mind off the scene
And you know when I know when I know
I know that you know
You know, you know, you know when I know
I know that you know
