Lyrics: If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me All the things That we've been through You should understand me Like I understand you Now girl I know the difference Between right and wrong I ain't gonna do nothing To break up our happy home Don't get so excited When I come home A little late at night 'Cause we only act like children When we argue fuss and fight If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me We've all got our Own funny moods I've got mine, Woman you've got yours too Just trust in me like I trust in you As long as we've been together It should be so easy to do Just get yourself together Or we might as well say goodbye What good is a love affair When you can't see eye to eye If you don't know me by now You will never Never never know me With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK #1 albums, over 2 billion streams across streaming platforms worldwide, and almost 1.5 million YouTube subscribers, Simply Red remain one of the UK’s most successful and well-loved bands.
