lyrics

IF YOU ONLY KNEW

Tell me your favorite author
I'll pretend I've read the book
I'll hold the towel while you change
And I promise not to look

Everyone's pretending everybody is for real
Everyone confounds me
And I know just how you feel

If you only knew

I am your humble servant
Simply tell me what to do
I need to make you happy
Cuz I wish that I was you

Everyone's pretending everybody is for real
No one understands you
And I know just how you feel

If you only knew
That I'm not like those guys
If you only knew
What happens when I close my eyes

I prearrange my features
So that you will never guess
I would starve myself for weeks
For a minute just like this

Everyone's pretending everybody is for real
We have never spoken
But I know just how you feel

If you only knew
What happens in my bed
If you only knew
What you get up to in my head
If you only knew
Things that I dream bout you
If you only knew
Things that I wanna make you do
