[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh

Hiding all it behind the smiles
Take a look at what you did (Ayy)
You probably thought that you'd break my heart (Oh-oh-oh-ooh)

But, baby, it's okay
I swear it's okay
[Chorus]
'Cause I know everything (Yeah)
I know everything (Yeah, yeah)
I know everything (Everything, ayy, ayy)
I know everything (Yeah, yeah)

Now these tongues don't twist like they did before
Tryin' to keep me up

Take a look at what you did (Ooh, hey)
You probably thought that you'd break my heart (Ooh, ooh)
You probably thought that you'd make me cry (Woo)
But, baby, it's okay
It's okay, ayy
[Chorus]
I know everything
I know everything (Yeah)
Everything (Yeah)
I know everything (Everything)
