lyrics

When I was young, I must've been a real handful
Runnin' around with all you trouble-makin' boys from school
Every day momma reminded me to keep my place
I always knew that she meant business when she would say

If you don't know, know, know
If you don't know, know, know
If you don't know then you don't live here anymore

Momma was right, she pegged you a no-good man
Daddy, he said, "I ain't gon' walk you down the aisle to him"
Prove 'em all wrong and just tell me that you love me
I would've thought that all these years would've made easy

If you don't know, know, know
If you don't know, know, know
If you don't know then you don't live here anymore

What is it to know something
Feel it in your bone
It's not choosing anything
That chooses on it's own

Curtains are closed, they're fadin' in the morning light
Sittin' alone, just watchin' the wet paint dry
No way of hidin', you took all the home from this house
I couldn't tell you if I belong here or somewhere else

If you don't know, know, know
If you don't know, know, know
If you don't know then you don't live here anymore
All I know is I don't live here anymore
