[Verse 1]
Hello everyone, it's nice to be here
I've come so far to see you all
I can see your deep blue eyes
They sleep beneath the open sky
Before you stands one like your brother
Swear to God he needs no other
But how can I afford to be
Be here with you so carelessly?
[Pre-Chorus]
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life we need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this I wish I had
[Chorus]
Oh, you know what I mean, a-yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, a-yes you do
[Verse 2]
Well, we had a party in our hotel last night
It ended up in an awful fight
My friend left me and my heart too
I hope I don't end up like you
[Chorus]
Oh, you know what I mean, a-yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, yes you do
[Verse 3]
Your country is a wonderful place
It pales my England into disgrace
To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable
I think I'll go there when it gets seasonable
[Pre-Chorus]
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life you need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this I wish I had
[Chorus]
Oh, you know what I mean, a-yes you do
Oh, you know what I mean, a-yes you do, huh
