Michael penn you know how lyrics

Every eye will go to you.

You do not have a doubt.

'Cause baby, these appearances

Are what it's all about.

And if I told you how that looks

You'd say I've got a nerve…

Just another particle

That we can all observe



As you trot it out.

You know how.

You trot it out.

You know how.



You had a ball at Edendale.

I'll never guess who came!

The guy who played the lover in

That film without a name.

He lavishes praise upon you,

And fetched umbrella'd drinks.

And when you think he likes you

Then you like the way he thinks.



So you trot it out.

You know how.

You trot it out, babe.

You know how.



The merits of my argument—

Given up for dead.

But, humbled by the universe

Revolving 'round your head,

Suddenly you’re telling me,

That, credit where it's due,

Every blessing come your way

You've been entitled to.



(Oh, you trot it out babe

You know how).



So captivate my interest with

An answer for it all.

A destiny's awaiting you…

You sort of feel the call.

But you can't help me with this bit

Of text you memorize.

You can make excuses

But you don't apologize.



No, you trot it out.

You know how.

You trot it out.

You know how

To trot it out, babe.

You know.

You know how.
