Steve Earle — I Thought You Should Know

[Verse 1] I been watching you watching me I could feel your eyes from way across the room But now that I'm holding you close, I can see Ain't no way I'm gonna get around you I won't tell you I don't need you tonight I won't pretend I ain't burning inside Your skin glowing soft in the silver moonlight The shadows where the promises hide The bittersweet taste of your kiss It's all more than I can resist [Chorus] But if you're thinking about breaking my heart You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go Somebody else already tore it apart And I thought you should know [Verse 2] Maybe this is all that you want Maybe you're just as lonesome as me A shoulder that you can cry on And a warm safe place you can be Someone to call in the middle of the night When the ghosts in your bedroom won't rest And two arms to hold you tight I promise that I'll do my best To give you everything I got to give Keep your secrets as long as I live [Chorus] But if you're thinking about breaking my heart You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go Somebody else already tore it apart And I thought you should know But if you're thinking about breaking my heart You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go Somebody else already tore it apart And I thought you should know But if you're thinking about breaking my heart You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go Somebody else already tore it apart And I thought you should know
