It Takes One to Know Me

[Verse 1]
It's true that I used to be crazy
And harder to love than most men
But the blood that ran through 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

[Chorus]
I've lived down all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess you're the one

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I've 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
