Lyrics for I Know What I Know (with General M.D.Shirinda & The Gaza Sisters)

She looked me over And I guess she thought I was all right All right in a sort of a limited way for an off-night She said, "don't I know you from the cinematographer's party?" I said, "who am I to blow against the wind?" I know what I know I'll sing what I said We come and we go That's a thing that I keep In the back of my head I know what I know I'll sing what I said We come and we go That's a thing that I keep In the back of my head She said, "there's something about you That really reminds me of money" She is the kind of a girl Who could say things that weren't that funny I said, "what does that mean? I really remind you of money?" She said, "who am I to blow against the wind?" I know what I know I'll sing what I said We come and we go That's a thing that I keep In the back of my head I know what I know I'll sing what I said We come and we go That's a thing that I keep In the back of my head She moved so easily All I could think of was sunlight I said, "aren't you the women Who was recently given a Fulbright?" She said, "don't I know you From the cinematographer's party?" I said, "who am I to blow against the wind?" I know what I know I'll sing what I said We come and we go That's a thing that I keep In the back of my head I know what I know I'll sing what I said We come and we go That's a thing that I keep In the back of my head I know what I know I know what I know I know what I know I know what I know
