She Knows Lyrics

Up, up and away, she goes
Now I know that I know she knows
Who would want to live a lie?
But, neither will I
If she still tried to try
But remarkably, my son
All my work is done

Wouldn't surprise me to see her ghost
She would like me to know she knows

And I'm almost sure
I was absolutely nothing before
Now, I'm so, so much more

The one word that describes the past
I'm pretty much possessed

We are the reason, I suppose
And we've spoken, so I know she knows
Though, what's one to sacrifice
When you live more than twice?
Oh, but I bet it's nice
Gonna be just like you;
I'm giving my life, too
No other woman would wear your clothes
And it goes without saying, she knows
She knows

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

This song off of Gnarls Barkley’s sophomore album The Odd Couple is about Cee Lo Green’s mother, who was paralyzed in a car accident when Cee Lo was 16, and passed away when he was 18. He says in an interview about the song with The Observer Music Monthly:

I’m saying: I understand – if you gotta go, I understand why. ‘Cause I can’t understand not being able to move from the neck down.
