Know You Now
Unveiling Depths: Amy Winehouse's Revelatory Lyrics
Lyrics
You're just a little boy underneath that hat
You are hiding your true self beneath a facade.
You need your nerve to hide your ego, don't come with that
You require audacity to conceal your ego; don't present a false image.
You think everything is handed to you free
You believe everything is given to you without effort.
But it's not that easy, no
But life is not as simple or effortless as you perceive.
I gotta know you now
The speaker expresses a need to truly understand the person.
We may never meet again
There might be a limited chance for future meetings.
I gotta know you now and then
The desire to understand the person sporadically.
My girl says I'm too sensitive to ride with you
The speaker's partner warns against being emotionally vulnerable around this person.
But I'm not listening to her, mm hm
Despite advice, the speaker is not heeding warnings.
Yes I'm perceptive so when I've dance with you
The speaker is perceptive and notices changes in the person during a dance.
You'll whisk your head back the way it were
The person reacts by reverting to their original state.
As you were
A phrase emphasizing the return to the previous condition.
I gotta know you now
Reiteration of the need to understand the person.
We may never meet again
Emphasizing the potential scarcity of future encounters.
I gotta know you now and then
Repeating the sporadic desire to understand the person.
Oh, I'm not ruling you out
The speaker is not excluding the person but is uncertain about their true nature.
I'm just in doubt as to what you say you're all about, yeah
Expressing doubt about the person's authenticity.
I gotta know you now
Reiteration of the need to truly understand the person.
We may never meet again
Highlighting the potential scarcity of future meetings.
I gotta show you now and them
Now emphasizing the speaker's intention to reveal something to the person.
I gotta know you now and then
Repeating the sporadic desire to understand the person.
I gotta know you now
Reiteration of the need to understand the person.
We may never meet again
Highlighting the potential scarcity of future encounters.
I gotta know you now
Repeating the sporadic desire to understand the person.
We may never meet again
Emphasizing the potential scarcity of future meetings.
I gotta know you now
Reiteration of the need to truly understand the person.
We may never meet again
Highlighting the potential scarcity of future encounters.
I gotta know you now
Reiteration of the need to understand the person.
We may never meet again
Highlighting the potential scarcity of future meetings.
