[Intro - talk-sing over the groove] Now a lot of people don't understand this But I do (He know!) Mm-hmm [Verse 1] I said "Hey, you ever-" he said "I know" I said "I ain't finished" he said "I know" Never held a hammer but he'll tell you how to build a roof Never boiled water but he knows how it feels to scald Ain't never been to Paris but he knows them cobblestone streets Ain't never had a job but he knows how to lead a crowd Ain't never been in love but he wrote a whole wedding speech Ask him anything - watch him never blink, eyes like stone [Pre-Chorus] Here he come, here he come Got the answer 'fore you finish askin' him [Chorus] I know, I know, I know, I know (He know! He know!) Don't say it, baby, I know (He know! He know!) Been knew it, been knew it, I know (He know! He know!) Whatever you say - I know [Post-Chorus] He know it all, he know it all Go 'head and ask him, he know it all He know it all, he know it all Hey! [Verse 2] Tire went flat on the highway last June He explained the physics for a hour and a half, sweat on his brow Told me all about friction, told me all about heat, the rubber's demise Then he called his mama and she called the tow truck, his phone glued to his ear Kitchen caught fire, he said "I know why," smoke filling the air Told me all about oxygen, told me all about air, the blaze growing higher House burned down but the man was technically right, ashes coating his shoes Standin' in the ashes goin' "Told you. Told you." [Pre-Chorus] Here he come, here he come Read the whole book, never turned a page [Chorus] I know, I know, I know, I know (He know! He know!) Don't say it, baby, I know (He know! He know!) Been knew it, been knew it, I know (He know! He know!) Whatever you say - I know [Post-Chorus] He know it all, he know it all Go 'head and ask him, he know it all He know it all, he know it all Hey! [Bridge - groove drops to guitar and claps] She left in the mornin', he said "I saw it comin'," coffee getting cold Knew every reason, knew every sign, etched in his mind Knew everything about it but he ain't do nothin', just watched her go Doctor said "Change" - he said "I know," pills still on the counter Bank said "You're empty" - he said "I know," letters piled up high Preacher said "Son, you got a lot to learn," voice soft and low He said "Reverend... respectfully... I know" [Bridge 2 - build back, choir cracks] Now the man ain't been wrong a day in his life 'Cause every time he wrong he change what he said, like shifting sand Look you dead in your eye, real calm, real slow, a practiced gaze And go "Mm... that's what I said" (That ain't what he said) (Y'all... that ain't what he said) [Final Chorus - full band, biggest] I know, I know, I know, I know (He don't know!) Don't say it, baby, I know (He don't know!) Been knew it, been knew it, I know (He don't know!) Whatever you say - I know [Outro - ride out, vamp, ad-libs] He know it all, he know it all Go 'head and ask him, he know it all (He don't know nothin') He know it all, he know it all Told you. Told you. Told you. Told you. Mm... I know (Somebody help this man)
