I Know You're Gonna Be There
Unexpected Reunion: A Friday Night of Mixed Emotions
Lyrics
I'm gonna put on my new shirt
I plan to wear my new shirt.
Shine up these old boots
I'll clean and make my old boots shiny.
Take a deep breath
I'll take a deep breath, preparing myself.
Try to keep my cool
I'll try to remain calm and composed.
I know you're gonna be there
I am aware that you will be present at the event.
I'm gonna have a couple drinks, just to knock off the edge
I'll have a few drinks to calm my nerves.
Not too much, don't wanna make a fool of myself
I won't overdo it with alcohol to avoid embarrassing myself.
I know you're gonna be there, I know you're gonna be there
I am certain that you will be there.
And I'm gonna bring somebody I barely even know
I'll bring someone I barely know with me.
And when you turn my way, I'm gonna pull her in close
When you look my way, I'll draw this person close to me.
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
Surprisingly, I'm not interested in this person at all.
I just wanna see if you still care
I just want to see if you still have feelings for me.
I know you're gonna be there
I am sure that you will be present.
You love the band that's playing, you wouldn't miss them for the world
You adore the band performing and won't miss their show.
All our friends are coming out and if I know one thing, girl,
All our friends will be there, and I'm certain of one thing: you'll also attend.
I know you're gonna be there
I am confident that you will be present.
Gonna walk right by that table where you always like to sit
I'll deliberately walk past the table where you usually sit.
And when I run into you, it's gonna be an accident
When we unexpectedly meet, it'll seem like an accident.
I know you're gonna be there
I am certain that you will be present.
I'm gonna act like it ain't nothing, but another Friday night
I'll pretend it's just an ordinary Friday night.
And you're just some old friend and I'm doing just fine
I'll treat you like an old friend and act like I'm doing fine without you.
Like I'm only going out to shake off another week
I'll make it seem like I'm only going out to relax after a tiring week.
Maybe see the boys and catch a buzz somewhere
Maybe hang out with my friends and have a drink or two.
But I know you're gonna be there
But deep down, I am certain that you will be there.
And I'm gonna bring somebody I barely even know
I'll bring someone I barely know with me.
And when you turn my way, I'm gonna pull her in real close
When you look my way, I'll pull this person even closer to me.
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
Surprisingly, I'm not interested in this person at all.
I just wanna see if you still care
I just want to see if you still have feelings for me.
I know you're gonna be there, I know you're gonna be there
I am certain that you will be present.
I'm gonna put on my new shirt
I plan to wear my new shirt.
Shine up these old boots
I'll clean and make my old boots shiny.
Truth is when I see yah, I don't know what I'll do
Truthfully, when I see you, I'm uncertain how I'll react.
