Do you think that I'm thinkin' about you, every minute of the day?
Do you think I'm cruisin' around, runnin' my life away?
Do you think I forgot you
Wished that we never met?
Do you think that I'm wishin' that I was one man, you'd never forget?
Do you think I'm trouble
And out for all I can get?
Do you think I'm the sweetest most wonderful man that you ever met?
Do you wanna be near me?
Do you wish I'd stay away?
If they shot me tomorrow, would you wish that they shot me today?
If you knew me better
Would there be any call?
Would we be lovers or friends
Or would you want me at all
A whole world between us
Builds too big of a wall
I wish that you knew me better
Or didn't know me at all
Do you think that I love you?
Do you think I'm all right?
Do you think that I'm lying awake, thinkin' 'bout you every night
Maybe you think I'm crazy
And maybe you're right
I think you're quite me a sinner
I wish that you knew me better
If you knew me better
Would there be any call
Would we be lovers or friends
Or would you want me at all
A whole world between us
Builds too big of a wall
I wish that you knew me better
Or didn't know me at all
You knew me better
Would their be any call
Would we be lovers or friends
Or would you want me at all
A whole world between us
Builds too big of a wall
I wish that you knew me better or...
