You Know How - Michael Penn

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
