Only You Know and I Know
Hidden Desires Revealed in Only You Know and I Know
Lyrics
Only you know and I know
Expresses exclusivity, suggesting a private understanding between two individuals.
All the loving we've got to show
Acknowledges the depth of their love and the need to display it.
So don't refuse to believe it
Encourages belief in their connection.
By reading too many meanings
Warns against overanalyzing or complicating their relationship.
'Cause you know that I mean what I say, so don't go
Asserts sincerity and requests not to misunderstand.
And never take me the wrong way
Emphasizes the importance of interpreting communication correctly.
You know you can't go on getting your own way
Addresses the danger of always having one's way in a relationship.
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday, yeah
Warns of potential consequences if one continues to be self-centered.
We're both here to be pleasing
States the purpose of mutual satisfaction.
Oh no, not deceiving
Denies deception and emphasizes honesty.
But it's hard to believe in, aw, yeah
Expresses difficulty in believing due to past mistreatment.
When you've been so mistreated
Reflects on the challenges of trusting after being hurt.
'Cause you know that I mean what I say, so don't go

And never take me the wrong way
Reemphasizes the need for correct interpretation.
You know you can't go on getting your own way
Repeats the caution against always seeking personal desires.
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday
Reiterates the potential negative consequences of selfish behavior.
If I seem to mislead you
Admits to occasional confusion or ambiguity.
It's just my craziness coming through
Attributes any confusion to personal idiosyncrasies.
But when it comes down to just two
Acknowledges the complexity of a relationship involving only two individuals.
Aw, I ain't no crazier than you
Claims no greater eccentricity than the partner.
'Cause you know that I mean what I say, so don't go
Reasserts the sincerity of communication.
And never take me the wrong way
Reiterates the plea for correct understanding.
You know you can't go on getting your own way
Reiterates the warning against persistent self-centeredness.
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday
Reiterates the potential negative consequences of persistent selfish behavior.
Only you know and I know
Restates the exclusivity of shared knowledge in the relationship.
Only you know and I know
Repeats the theme of mutual understanding.
Only you know and I know, oh yeah
Reiterates the exclusivity of shared knowledge, possibly with added emphasis.
Only you know and I know, oh yeah, get up
Encourages action, possibly standing up or asserting oneself.
