I Know What I Know

(words by paul simon; music by paul simon and general m. d. shirinda)



She looked me over

And i guess she thought

I was all right

All right in a sort of a limited way

For an off-night

She said don't i know you

From the cinematographer's party

I said who am i

To blow against the wind



I know what i know

I'll sing what i said

We come and we go

That's a thing that i keep

In the back of my head



She said there's something about you

That really reminds me of money

She is the kind of a girl

Who could say things that

Weren't that funny

I said what does that mean

I really remind you of money

She said who am i

To blow against the wind



I know what i know

I'll sing what i said

We come and we go

That's a thing that i keep

In the back of my head



She moved so easily

All i could think of was sunlight

I said aren't you the women

Who was recently given a fulbright

She said don't i know you

From the cinematographer's party

I said who am i

To blow against the wind



I know what i know

I'll sing what i said

We come and we go

That's a thing that i keep

In the back of my head
