When Somebody Knows You That Well

[Verse 1]

Tommy's daddy, kept a six pack in the fridge

We thought we were old enough

To do what Daddy's did

It didn't take us long to go

From drunk to really sick

When I walked in my house

I stumbled just a bit

[Chorus]

You play it cool

But it's no use

Dad aren’t no fool

And that's the truth

Chewing gum won't cover

Up that smell

You can't hide one single thought

If you try, you'll just get caught

When somebody knows you that well

[Verse 2]

We lost Daddy

In nineteen ninety-nine

I took care of everybody's pain

Except for mine

And then one night

My wife took my face in her hands

She said, "I think it's time you cry

For your old man"

[Chorus]

You play it cool

But it's no use

She aren’t no fool

And that's the truth

And my teardrops finally fell

You can't hide one single thought

If you try, you'll just get caught

When somebody knows you that well

[Verse 3]

I could probably do more

To help my fellow man

But life gets busy

And I hope God understands

Someday, when I get time

I'll do more than my share

Funny how I'm thinking this

Sitting in my easy chair

[Chorus]

You play it cool

But it's no use

God aren’t no fool

And that's the truth

And he won't let you fool yourself

You can't hide one single thought

If you try, you'll just get caught

When somebody knows you that well

[Outro]

When somebody knows you that well
