About You Songtext
von Lindisfarne

Well, I hear you′re going with the banker's clerk
Lives in a big house overlooking the park
And daddy got a blue BMW
Second hand but nearly new

But he don′t know (he don't know)
What I know (know know know)
About you
He don't know (he don′t know)
What I know (know know know)
About you

Maybe he′ll take you to the discotheque
Drinking, dancing in the quiet net
Then he'll take you home if it′s not too far
A goodnight kiss in daddy's second hand car


But he don′t know (he don't know)
What I know (know know know)
About you
He don′t know (he don't know)
What I know (know know know)
About you

Will you tell him
You used to love a bad man
You used to love a sad man
Not so long ago
Will you tell him
Tell him what you did then
Oh, would you rather
He didn't know

And when you′re married, mortgaged
And you have your first kid
What a gas it would be
If you named him after me
If I had a baby in the banker′s clerk
Would you keep him in the dark
Or would you bounce him on your knee


He'll never know (he don′t know)
What I know (know know know)
About you
He'll never know (he don′t know)
What I know (know know know)
About you

Will you tell him
You used to love a bad man
You used to love a sad man
Not so long ago
Will you tell him
Tell him what you did then
Oh, would you rather
He didn't know

Will you tell him
You used to love a bad man
You used to love a sad man
Not so long ago
Will you tell him
Tell him what you did then
Oh, would you rather
He didn′t know

I wish you well along your winding way
Hope the sun always shines on you
Give my regards to pop and mamma too
I know they didn't like me but what can you do

They don't know (they don′t know, know know know)
About you
They′ll never know (they don't know, know know know)
About you
He don′t know (he don't know, know know know)
What I know
About you

(He don′t know, know know know)
(About you)

(He don't know, know know know)
(About you)

(He don′t know, know know know)
(About you)
(He don't know, know know know)
(About you)
(He don't know, know know know)
(About you)
(He don′t know, know know know)
(About you)
