Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Hello everyone, it's nice to be here I've come so far to see you all I can see your deep blue eyes They sleep beneath the open sky Before you stands one like your brother Swear to God he needs no other But how can I afford to be Be here with you so carelessly? [Pre-Chorus] You know what you did was so unkind You search for the life we need to find There's right and there's wrong And there's good and there's bad And there's an answer to this I wish I had [Chorus] Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do [Verse 2] Well, we had a party in our hotel last night It ended up in an awful fight My friend left me and my heart too I hope I don't end up like you [Chorus] Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do [Verse 3] Your country is a wonderful place It pales my England into disgrace To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable I think I'll go there when it gets seasonable [Pre-Chorus] You know what you did was so unkind You search for the life you need to find There's right and there's wrong And there's good and there's bad And there's an answer to this I wish I had [Chorus] Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do Huh [Instrumental Outro]
