5 Chinese Brothers - I Always Knew Lyrics
Paul foglinoI always knew you were too good for meI always knew you knew it tooI did what I could, I knocked on wood, I hoped you understoodBut I could never measure up to youNow it scares me when I hear you talkI know I never had a chanceBut Id rather be a nickel on the sidewalkThan a penny in a rich mans pantsNow youve got someone to take care of youHe gives you everything you needAll those pretty things, engagement rings, all tied up in stringsI only gave you what I got for freeI always knew you were too good for meThats what you always used to sayIts so hard to protect your self respect,In fact thats all I keptAnd thats the only thing you gave away
