You Know Lyrics

You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You've got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
You won't fool anybody
Not even for a while

You know you know
You know honey you know
You know you know
You know you know

Can't stop thinkin' of you
All the ways you go on
Don't try to tell me baby
All your plastic has gone
You know we need your honey
Like I need a loan
Your time is running out now
Unless we're really on a go

Well you know you know
You know yes you know
You know you know
You know you know

You know you know
You know honey

You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You're got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
You won't fool anybody
Not even for a while

You know why
You know you know
You know honey you know
You know you know
You know you know
You know you know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for You Know lyrics by Damned, The

by coldblooded8murderteen

15y ago

I adore this song... I don't really understand what it's about, maybe because my english is not very good...

But here is how I imagine it: I think it's about someone who used to be very popular and had a good life, at least they thought it was, but now everyone realized the truth about this person and how empty she is. She realizes that it was all empty and doesn't know how to live and everything seems pointless, but at least she knows the truth...

But I don't really understand the lyrics. Anyone?
