I Knew - Bonnie Raitt

Time, time ain’t never healed the wound

Can’t think of anything that gets

Any better because it’s old

Change, change would probably do me good

Wouldn’t probably hurt a thing

Anyway, that’s what I’m told

I would have run, but I couldn’t run

Would have flown, but I couldn’t fly

I woulda headed right back into town

I woulda lied, but I couldn’t lie

'Cause I knew

Stop, stop and take a better look

There ain’t no telling what you’ll find

In the corner of a darkened room

Things, things that either one time fell

Or blew down from a windowsill

Or never got up by the broom

I would have run, but I couldn’t run

Would have flown, but I couldn’t fly

I woulda headed right back into town

I woulda lied, but I couldn’t lie

'Cause I knew

No two ways about it, it’s a doggone shame

Baby, it’s a doggone shame

I would have run, but I couldn’t run

Would have flown, but I couldn’t fly

I woulda headed right back into town

I woulda lied, but I couldn’t lie

'Cause I knew

I knew

I knew, woo
