I Wish I'd Known You Better - Tommy Womack

I wish I’d known you better

You were born too soon

I was wearing diapers

When you were on your honeymoon

Went off in the Air Force

Came home when you could

I wish I’d known you better

But what I knew was good

You played football with Elvis

Took Susie for your wife

Got stationed in Billings

And led a military life

You smoke more Camel cigarettes

Than anybody should

I wish I’d know you better

But what I knew was good

Then there came Juanita

She wasn’t good for you

Then you got it right

When you hooked up with me

She went six months before ya

We all knew soon you would

I wish I’d known her better

But what I knew was good

There comes a time to say goodbye

And send you on your way

Turn your body into ashes

And get on with our day

I have one conversation now

I sorely wish we could

I wish I’d known you better

But what I knew was good

What I knew was good
