I Know All About It

You've been living on the jazz side of life Carrying your pain in your back pocket Like a sharp-edged knife And somebody told me There's the man you've been seeing But I know he ain't your lover And I know he ain't your friend And I can tell by the way you look You ain't been treating yourself right, girl And you've been hooked And if I could, I would I come to your side I know you wouldn't want me to It would only hurt your pride [Chorus:] Why do you act like you don't know me at all? Why do you, why do you turn your face to the wall Girl, don't try to run away like that I know all about the pain And all that jazz You lean against the bar With that look on your face The leather's worn on your boots And your blouse is tattered lace You pawned your guitar And you busted again Your Chevy's broken down And you're looking for a ride with him You lie on your bed And stare at the plaster peeling And wonder where your spirit went That wild, abandoned feeling Everything you always knew about Something you almost forgot Hidden in a place somewhere Deep down in your heart [Chorus] I know all about the pain And all that jazz I know all about it I know all about it, girl I know all about it I know all about it, girl I know all about it I know all about it, girl I know all about it I know all about it
