It Takes One to Know Me Lyrics
(Carlene Carter)
It's true that I used to be crazy
And harder to love than most men
But the blood that ran thru these tired old hands
Was hotter and wilder back then
I don't feel as tall as I used to
Maybe, it's just that you've grown
You're the one that held my hand when I fell
When I just couldn't make it alone
I've lived down all the stories
I sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess, you're the one
Break: -Solo & Humming-
My daughters are ladies of fortune
My son is an heir to the throne
And this crown that I hold is tarnished and cold
But it's a symbol of all that I own
Sometimes I wish I was younger
And could pick up the pieces and run
But then I look back on the matter of fact
And it's a race that I've already won
I lived down all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess, you're the one
Lived down all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
And June, you're the one
