Okay, boy, that's some kinda crazy 00:07

Thinkin' we're all good, it's the opposite lately 00:12

I know you're intelligent, just no rocket scientist 00:16

So take all my silences 00:20

And do your damn best to figure it out 00:23

That one look means "I wanna go" 00:25

"I'm not mad" means "You're in trouble" 00:27

If you know me, boy, you should know, you should 00:29

Say, "I need space," don't look at the door 00:33

"I hate you" means "I need you more" 00:36

If I say, "Go have fun, babe," that's just short 00:38

For "You should know me better," see the signs 00:41

Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh 00:45

If I need your sex, like, quick 00:51

Said somethin' and now I'm pissed 00:53

It's like that or it's like this 00:55

You should know, you should know 00:58

For God's sake, don't believe a word that I say 00:59

I wanna touch on you all day 01:03

Instead, I'm pushin' you away 01:05

So classic, assumin' you telepathic 01:08

Okay, it might make me batshit 01:11

Just doin' it outta habit, oh no 01:13

Say "I need space," don't look at the door 01:16

"I hate you" means "I need you more" 01:18

If I need your sex like quick 01:34

Said somethin' and now I'm pissed 01:36

It's like that or it's like this 01:38

You should know, you should know (you should've known) 01:40

Know me better, see the signs 01:43

Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh 01:45

Lyrics:

[English]

Okay, boy, that's some kinda crazy

Thinkin' we're all good, it's the opposite lately

I know you're intelligent, just no rocket scientist

So take all my silences

And do your damn best to figure it out

That one look means "I wanna go"

"I'm not mad" means "You're in trouble"

If you know me, boy, you should know, you should

Say, "I need space," don't look at the door

"I hate you" means "I need you more"

If I say, "Go have fun, babe," that's just short

For "You should know me better," see the signs

Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh

If I need your sex, like, quick

Said somethin' and now I'm pissed

It's like that or it's like this

You should know, you should know

For God's sake, don't believe a word that I say

I wanna touch on you all day

Instead, I'm pushin' you away

So classic, assumin' you telepathic

Okay, it might make me batshit

Just doin' it outta habit, oh no

Say "I need space," don't look at the door

"I hate you" means "I need you more"

If I say, "Go have fun, babe," that's just short

For "You should know me better," see the signs

Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh

If I need your sex like quick

Said somethin' and now I'm pissed

It's like that or it's like this

You should know, you should know (you should've known)

Know me better, see the signs

Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind, oh

If I need your sex like quick

Said somethin' and now I'm pissed

It's like that or it's like this

You should know, you should know (you should know)

Know me better

Know me better (see the signs)

Know me better

...

If you love me, you should know me better, see the signs

Shouldn't have to tell you or whatever, read my mind

If I need your sex like quick

Said somethin' and now I'm pissed

It's like that or it's like this

You should know, you should know (you should know)

See the signs

Read my mind

Now I'm pissed
