If You Don’t Know Me by Now

Otis, I'm seein' somebody new.

Who?

That's all you can say?

Not sure what else to say

I know it didn't work between you and me, but-

Don't say you still love me.

Just don't

Even if it's true?

If you don't know me by now

You will never, never, never know me

Ooh

I don't want you out of my life

I don't know what that means, but it's how I feel

I can't sit around waiting on you to figure out what it means, Otis

All the things that we've been through

You should understand me

Like I understand you

Oh, but baby, I know the difference between right and wrong

I ain't gonna do nothing and end up alone

Oh, don't get too excited when I don't do everything right

'Cause people only act like children

Oh, when they argue, fuss and fight

If... (If you don't know me by now)

No, you won't (You will never, never, never know me)

No you won't! (Ooh)

If you don't know me by now

You will never, never, never know me

Ooh

Ah-ooh
