Ratboys - Know You Then Lyrics

Ratboys Lyrics

"Know You Then"

I didn't know you then
Not like I know you now
You would laugh in front of your friends
Walking with your head down

You were just a kid
Lost on the school playground
They would take your lunch and then
Make fun when you weren't around

Well, it's not my problem
'Cause I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then

Graduation ends
You've ironed your cap and gown
Your dad checks his watch again
Got no time to hang around

No, it's not my fault
'Cause I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then

Kept it to yourself
You couldn't make a sound
Oh, I would have been there in less than a second
If time and space allowed

Well, it's all I can say
That I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then
No, I didn't know you then
