Lucinda Williams - I Know All About It lyrics

You've been living on the jazz side of life
Carrying your pain in your back
Pocket like a sharp-edged knife
And somebody told me there's the
Man you've been seeing
But I know he ain't your lover and
I know he ain't your friend

And I can tell by the way you look
You ain't been treating yourself right
Girl and you've been hooked
And if I could, I would I come to your side
But I know you wouldn't want me to
It would only hurt your pride

Why do you act like you don't know me at all?
Why do you
Why do you turn your face to the wall?
Girl, don't try to run away like that
I know about the pain and all that jazz
You lean against the bar with
That look on your face
The leather is worn on your boots
And your blouse is tattered lace
You pawned your guitar and you busted again
Your Chevy's broken down and you're looking
For a ride with him

You lie on your bed and
Stare at the plaster peeling
And wonder where your spirit went, that wild
Abandoned feeling
Something you always knew about
Something you almost forgot
Hidden in a place somewhere deep
Down in your heart

Why do you act like you don't know me at all?
Why do you
Why do you turn your face to the wall?
Girl, don't try to run away like that
I know about the pain and all that jazz
I know all about the pain and all that jazz

I know all about it
I know all about it, girl
I know all about it
I know all about it, girl
I know all about it
I know all about it, girl
I know all about it i know all about it
