I Always Knew

Paul foglino



I always knew you were too good for me

I always knew you knew it too

I did what i could, i knocked on wood, i hoped you understood

But i could never measure up to you





Now it scares me when i hear you talk

I know i never had a chance

But i'd rather be a nickel on the sidewalk

Than a penny in a rich man's pants





Now you've got someone to take care of you

He gives you everything you need

All those pretty things, engagement rings, all tied up in strings

I only gave you what i got for free





I always knew you were too good for me

That's what you always used to say

It's so hard to protect your self respect,

In fact that's all i kept

And that's the only thing you gave away
