Esperanza Spalding, I Know You Know

The way
You look at me
When you think
I'm not looking....
Tells me....
Your heart's
A sleeping giant
Worn out
By someone
You loved before me.
I see you're scared
Unconvinced by
What I've tried to say;
That I am yours
And that nothing
Will take me away.


I know that you know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away ........... (x2)


The way
You always call me
With some question....
And every time
Try to pretend
You didn't call me
Just ?cause
I was on your mind.
Too soon for you
To say out loud
But I know.
You love me
And though
We don't say it
Already shows.

I know that you know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away.
You already know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away.
I know that you know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away.
You already know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe

And nothing
Will take me away.

I wait for you
To open up.
But, it's not a bore.
You're just
What I've been
Looking for.
Why do you keep
Your head in the sand?
Whoever
You loved before me
That ran's
Nothing like me...
Nothing like me...
Nothing like me...

I know that you know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away.
You already know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away.
I know that you know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away.
You already know
But I'll sing it again;
I love you babe
And nothing
Will take me away.

The way you look at me
When you think
I'm not looking.
The way you call me up
Just to see
What's cooking.
The way you look at me
When you think
I'm not looking.
I look at you
That way too
You just don't know
That I do.

I know that you know
You already know

Esperanza Spalding, She Got To You Lyrics

If I had a penny
For every time I caught you
Undressing me with your eyes
I'd be a rich one and then
I could prove all my senses
Were real all along
You wanted me too

Though now you laugh
And call me a fool
I know you wanted me too
Before she got to you

If I could remember
All the things you used to say
When we were left alone
I'd have a book of sonnets
So inspired
All the muses would cringe
At your denial
At how you wanted me too

Though now you laugh
And call me a fool
I know you wanted me too
Before she got to you

Before she got to you
I would say
That we were something special
To behold
But now it's over, all over
Before she came barging through
We were prime
To make the kind of love
As scarce as four leaf clover
Now, I'm a bit confused

Cos what I felt
I thought was true
Did she barge in
And steal your heart away?
Or did you know
From the first day
I was just someone to play?
If so, damn that's cold

Before she got to you
I would say
That we were something special
To behold
But now it's over, all over
Before she came barging through
We were prime
To make the kind of love
As scarce as four leaf clover
If I could understand
What you have found in her
More than you
Could have had with me
I'd finally understand a mind
As twisted as yours
Must be for you to go
Just when you wanted me too

Though now you laugh
And call me a fool
I know you wanted me too
What kind of spell
Has she put on you?
I know you wanted me too
Before she got to you
