I paid all my dues And she wanted to know That I'd never leave her Now I'm ready to go And strange as it seems She's endless to me She's just like paperwork But harder to read Patience, my enemy And loving's my friend It's harder to leave With my heart on my sleeve Than to stay and just pretend Oh, she knows me so well Oh, she knows me like I know myself I made all my plans And she has made hers She kept me in mind But I wasn't sure I searched every room For a way to escape But every time I tried to leave She keeps holding on to me For dear life And blocking my way Patience, my enemy And loving's my friend It's harder to leave With my heart on my sleeve Than to stay and just pretend Oh, she knows me so well Oh, she knows me like I know myself And like the back of her hand She already understands everything Won't you stay? She says And she already knows how it goes And where she stands I'll stay, anyway Cos she knows me so well Oh, she knows me like I know myself Oh, she knows me so well Oh, she knows me like I know myself
