I KNEW YOU WHEN

Billy Joe Royal

(Joe South)



Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were only

A girl all alone without love

I knew you when



I knew you when you were sad and all alone

You didn't have anyone that you could call your own

I knew you when your heart belonged to only me

I used to be your only love Now your love is just a memory



Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were only

A girl all alone without love

I knew you when

I knew you when - we used to have a lot of fun



But someone else could offer more

Now I'm the lonely one

I knew you when you were just a scared little girl

But that was many tears ago

Before you came up in the world



Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I knew you when you were lonely

I knew you when you were only

A girl all alone without love (Yeah yeah yeah)

I knew you when (Yeah yeah yeah) . . .
