How Do You Know Me So Well? (I'm Indebted to You)

[Your Girl Lana 549]

How do I love you, oh, tell me
With all of my might?"

I'm indebted to you
I'm indebted to you always

There's something she doesn't know about
A secret he doesn't show about
A sensitive side all his own, oh my
She got her skeletons, as well
Some secrets he know she'd never tell
People who keep her alone

And she said,
"How did I know you so well, why am I not surprised?"
He said, "Baby, go to hell."
And that was the demise of their love

Don't ever pick up a man if you don't think he'll understand
Don't ever trust yourself if you have a history of being a loving fool

So that's what she got when she married him
A lifetime promise to carry him
Him and his every second of need
I do not know you so well
Not more than that one night
Do you still love me, oh tell me
With all of your might?

I'm indebted to you
I'm indebted to you, my love

It's "Indebted". "Indebited" is not a word.

I adore this song more than I need water and air. Everything about it is beyond perfection it's going to follow me all my life

[Trash Magic 28,467]

love it too. top 3 from this album. she's channeling some bob dyaln lyricisms with her story telling. makes me think if she did this kind of story telling so early on then pretty much everything in lanaylsis is redundant

My favorite lyrical moment in Lana's discography.

sorry to bump an old thread..... but, my version of this song has these lyrics:

What an unusual name, you said
What a spectacular redhead
You really seem like a prize to me
And you are so mysterious
When you are not delirious
Oh what you mean to me

And she said, how do you know me so well
After only one night?

 

Before the ones above, do i have an alt version or something, or did it get accidentally deleted from the OP?

Mine also has this (: I'm guessing it was deleted from OP

I wonder if this is about her to an extent, or if she is telling the story of someone else(or possibly a mix).
