Intro:

How did I know?
How did I know?

Verse:

I met you last year in the park,
I said yes, you can pet my dog.
Tails were wagging,
You could tell that we were easy marks.
You put me in a fog.

Your evil ?ex? tore out your soul,
She left it mangled on her floor.
I could fix the hole,
she?d cut you almost to the bone.
All?s fair in love and war.

Pre-Chorus:

Oh?yes?
Escape from your distress.
Oh?no?
A past that won?t let go.

Chorus:

How did I know
You couldn?t be strong
When she came along again?
How did I know
She?d win?
Verse:

When you?re asleep you say her name,
She?s there inside your dreams.
You tell me ?Just a nightmare!?
But I know it was a phony claim,
I never heard no screams.
Pre-Chorus:

Oh?yes?
Escape from your distress.
Oh?no?
A past that won?t let go.


Chorus:

How did I know
You couldn?t be strong
When she came along again?
How did I know
She?d win?
How did I know ? she?d win?


Bridge:

You think your god-like body?ripped and cut--
shows that you are strong.
The way your will just crumbled?like a Triscuit--
proves that you are wrong.


Chorus: Chorus Counter-Melody:

?Cause how did I know?? I know you thought about her every day.
You couldn?t be strong I kind ?a knew that there?d be hell to pay.
When she came along again?
How did I know How did I know that?
She?d win? How did I know she?d win?

Chorus:

I already knew
She?d give you a call
And that would be all
she?d need to do.
I already knew
We?re through.
