Текст песни I Thought I Knew You Well - Carmen McRae

A frown was on her face
Her smile had been erased
And she was making plans to catch a train

It's easy to explain
You know that something's changed
And she was never one to stand in the rain

Well (well)
You never can't tell
I thought I knew you well

Now why can't you see
There's not enough room for me?
Maybe I could sleep upon the floor
Over by the door

My feet feel just like lead
And it's achin' in my head
Perhaps sometimes I'll sleep upon your bed

Well (well)
You never can't tell
I thought I knew you well, huh

The truth is plain to see
Is it there on
What's bad for you is sometimes worse for me

And although your shoes are warm
Your clothes are old and tall
Did I hear you say you wish you was never born?

Well (well)
You never can't tell (tell)
I thought I knew you well, I thought I knew you well

She said farewell to thee
Then she held the family
And cast her ship upon the sea of time (ooh)
Mmm, mmm-mmm

And now the time has come
When I would like to run
But I will stand and face whatever comes

Well (well)
You never can't tell (tell)
I thought I knew you so well

Yeah-yeah (well) well, well
You never can't tell (tell)
I thought I knew you well (thought I knew you well)
No (well) love

(Well)
You never can't tell
I thought I knew you well (thought I knew you well)
I (well) thought I knew you well

(Well) well
Said you never can't tell, never can't tell
I thought I knew you (thought I knew you well)
