I was talking to an empty mind today No opinion of his own just living life his way. Think I saw a hermit in the making No good at giving just good taking. Mm mm mm good at taking   Hears no voice except his own Talking to himself too long to notice no-ones home Mm  mm mm no-one’s home Mm mm mm no-one’s home.   There’ll always be someone who’s just like that They’re not nice people and that’s a hard fact. It’s not about colour. It’s not about creed. They follow the deceiver just like Adam & Eve Mm mm mm just like Eve   Don’t want to believe ‘cause we’re dying anyway No point in hoping, lucks not coming his way Mm mm mm not my way Mm mm mm not myway.   Defeated long before he’s even tried Hasn’t even noticed that he’s still alive. Lives for the present doesn’t think about future or past. Just don’t know how long he’ll last Mm mm mm will he last   Somehow while there’s life there’s hope Though I won’t hold my breath I’ll throw him a rope Mm mm mm a long rope Mm mm mm a long rope   Just want him to see that people smile more When they know there’s always another open door There’s someone out there that care’s enough to say Life doesn’t have to be this way. Mm mm mm not this way   Somehow while there’s life there’s hope Though I won’t hold my breath I’ll throw him a rope Mm mm mm give him hope Mm mm mm give him hope     I KNOW YOU     I know you better than you know yourself You know I do and You know me better than I know myself You think you do. When we’re on another planet We both share the view ‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself I think it’s true.   Have you ever noticed how We say the same thing at the same time. It’s no joke that we’ve become one, Maybe it keeps us in line. But it’s fun to see you smile When you know just what I’m thinking. I find it disconcerting But I know my ship’s not sinking.   I know you better than you know yourself You know I do and You know me better than I know myself You think you do. When we’re on another planet We both share the view ‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself I think it’s true.   Seems that we just found each other For the purest reason. Our love has a special link It’s never out of season. People sometimes think it’s odd The way we read each other’s minds. But it hasn’t happened over night Clicking perfectly takes time.   I know you better than you know yourself You know I do and You know me better than I know myself You think you do When we’re on another planet We both share the view ‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself I think it’s true.   Let’s celebrate what we have now For no other reason than it’s fun. We’ll never try to complicate things. We’ll thank the one who gave us love. I know that I will always wish In good times and in bad That there’ll always be good reason To keep loving each other back.   I know you better than you know yourself You know I do and You know me better than I know myself You think you do When we’re on another planet We both share the view ‘Cause I know you better than you know yourself It’s oh so true.
