Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - If You Don't Know Me By Now

If you don't know me by now

You will never, never, never know me.

All the things that we've been through

You should understand me

Like I understand you

Now baby, I know the difference

Between right and wrong

I ain't gonna do nothin'

To upset our happy home

Oh, don't get so excited

When I come home a little late at night

'Cause we only act like children

When we argue fuss and fight.

If you don't know me by now

(If you don't know me by now)

You will never, never, never know me

(You will never, never, never know me)

If you don't know me by now

(If you don't know me, baby)

You will never, never, never know me

No you won't.

We've all got our own funny moods

I've got mine, woman you've got yours too

Just trust in me, like I trust in you

As long as we've been together, that should be so easy to do

Just get yourself together

Or we might as well say goodbye

What good is a love affair

When you can't see eye to eye.

If you don't know me by now

(If you don't, if you don't know me, baby)

You will never, never, never know me

If you don't know me by now

(If you don't know me by now)

You will never, never, never know me

No you won't.

If you don't know me by now

You will never, never, never know me

If you don't know me by now

You will never, never, never know me.
