I know you think that I'm just a stranger
Just a drinker he's seen downtown
Someone he'd wave to on his way to meet you
But I know him too

CHORUS
Better than a "how you been?"
Oh, better than I wish I did
When you dance where I can see
I know you think you know him better
Wait a little longer, I know him too

I guess no one told you nobody can hold him
I guess his whispers still sound true
And his secrets, they're still the same
As the ones I knew

CHORUS

SOLO

CHORUS
Better than his "how you been?"
Oh, better than I wish I did
Go on, dance where I can see

Tonight you love him cause no one can tell him
Tonight no one can tell you
The way your eyes shine, soon they'll be like mine
Cryin' cause I know him too

CHORUS
I know you think you know him better
Wait a little longer, I know him too
