Music & Lyrics By: Glen Ballard and Siedah Garret



What I Know

Maybe I was young and didn't understand

Or, maybe i just didn't give a damn

Either way, there was a lesson to be learned

I held the fire till it burned

I used to think i was so clever

But, now i see that i was just like you



Before I discovered what i know

Could save you some trouble

Cause i know what i know, the hard way

Yeah, yeah, yeah



Listen up and you will know what not to do

Or, you can carry on until, they carry you

Either way it's taught, the lesson will be learned

Why wait until the tables turned

Like you, i thought i was so clever

But, now i see, that i was just a fool



Before i discovered what i know

could save you some trouble

Cause i know, what i know, the hard way



What i know, i had to discover

What i know, could save you some trouble

Cause i know what i know, the hard way

Yeah, yeah, yeah....yeah, yeah ,yeah



Yeah, yeah i know what i know

Yeah, yeah I know what i know

Yeah, yeah i know what i know

Yeah i know what i know what i know



I used to think i was so clever

But now i see that i was just like you, before i discovered...
