Knowing me, you owe me (Ooh, you owe me) Knowing me, you owe me Here we go again You bought a round for strangers You kissed the barmaid’s hand You called us all your brothers Then borrowed twenty grand (Twenty quid!) Well, that’s beside the point now It’s been a bloody year You’ve got a brand-new jacket And I bought you that beer I hate to spoil the evening I hate to make a scene But you’ve been “just paid yesterday” Since roughly Halloween Knowing me, you owe me Don’t pretend you don’t You said you’d pay on Friday And we both know you won’t Knowing me, you owe me Here we go again Funny how you lose your wallet When we’re splitting it by ten (Ooh, you owe me) You can sing along (Ooh, you owe me) But the debt goes on I drove you to the airport At quarter past unfair You promised me the petrol Then forgot when we got there You sent a beach-side selfie With a cocktail in each hand I sent my bank details You replied, “That looks grand!” I don’t begrudge your holiday The sea, the sun, the view I’d like to take one of my own Without first funding you Knowing me, you owe me Don’t pretend you don’t You said you’d pay on Friday And we both know you won’t Knowing me, you owe me Here we go again Funny how you lose your wallet When we’re splitting it by ten (Ooh, you owe me) You can sing along (Ooh, you owe me) But the debt goes on (Ooh, you owe me) (Ooh, you owe me) When I was skint last winter You fed me for a week You never kept a tally You never heard me speak Of paying for the dinners Or sleeping on your floor You said, “That’s what a mate does” And went and cooked some more So maybe keep the twenty We’ll call the whole thing square But next time we go drinking Bring your wallet Bring your wallet Bring your bloody wallet there! Knowing me, you owe me Don’t pretend you don’t I said I’d let it go now And we both know I won’t Knowing me, you owe me Here we go again I’ll forgive you for the money Then remind you now and then (Ooh, you owe me) Till we’re old and grey (Ooh, you owe me) You’ll regret it either way Knowing me, you owe me (Ooh, you owe me) Knowing me, you owe me (Here we go again) Keep the twenty Buy a round Funny how You can’t be found Knowing me, you owe me (Ooh, you owe me) I love you, mate But pay for your own chips (Your own chips!)
