Karaoké If You Don't Know Me by Now (live) Patti LaBelle

All the things that we've been through

You should understand me like I understand you

Honey I know the difference between right and wrong

I ain't gon' do nothin' to upset our happy home

You don't get so excited

When I come home a little late at night

Oh we act like children when we argue fuss and fight

If you don't

You'll never, never know me

Oh hey

If you don't know me by now

You'll never know me

Oh we all got our own funny moods

Honey I've got mine and you've got yours too

Yeah you do

Just trust in me like I trust in you

As long as we've been together that should be so easy to do

Oh you better get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye

Bye bye bye

What good is a love affair if we can't see eye to eye

If you don't

You'll never

You'll never

You ain't gonna know me

Never

If you don't know me by now

You'll never, never know me

Ooh

Oh baby I thought you

Oh I

I thought you knew me by now

But you don't

Oh

Oh baby I know you

I thought you knew me by now

But you don't

Huh

Huh huh

Yeah I like to do one of those

Huh huh

Sometimes you think you're all knowin' about 'em

I think it's kinda like your ego gets in the way

And you take for granted somebody just knows what you're all about my dear and they just don't

Aw shucks

Imma try and talk to you sugar

You break your back you break your legs and you break your faith

Tryin' to make these people know you in life

But somehow they just don't wanna try to

So you say to yourself

Is it somethin' I said

Is it somethin' I done

Is it the way I look

Is it the way my clothes come unfasten

And if that turns you off baby you ain't worth me anyway

Hey hey

So you fasten your clothes

You check your speech

You check how you drag and everything else, your face

And you find out you're still in trouble

So then you say to yourself

Self is it worth it

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah no

'Cos it's been ten long years

This is the situation

I'm talkin' about

Ten long years

And if you don't know me

I'm not gonna try to prove myself no more

You'll never, never

Never know me

You'll go on

You'll go on and find yourself someone else

Because if you think you're lonely now wait 'till tonight comes

Because I'll be somewhere

Somewhere

Somewhere, somewhere

I ain't gonna stop and try to prove myself to you

Because you ain't gonna

You ain't gonna know

You ain't gonna know me

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey hey
