Now That You Know Me Songtext / Lyric

When we were as strangers it was so long ago

I liked you but I lacked the courage to tell you so

Wanted you by my side but never below me

It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me

Now that you know me



The situation was just right for us to be friends

And gradually upon your love I came to depend

I wasted time afraid someday you'd outgrow me

It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me






[following verse appears in the live Hüsker Dü version, but not the solo version]

You gave your love and gave a compliment to my soul

The two of us became a part of a greater whole

You weren't concerned about the heartaches you('ve) show(n) me

It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me



We comforted and gave each other security

Protect you from the world and all its insanity

When waves of madness threatened to undertow me

It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me



(repeat first verse)



It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me

(repeat al coda)+
