I Don't Know What She Knows

What does she know?
Does she know how little I'm prepared?
How I got no plan and I'm usually running scared?
And my aim looks bad with this sad little arrow on my bow
I don't know what she knows
I don't know what she knows

What does she know?
Does she know that I really should know better?
Got my troubles with the spirit and the letter
Does she know I'm a feather tossed wherever the wind blows?
I don't know what she knows
I don't know what she knows

I act like I know a lot
But it's all just for show
And I ain't got what she has got
I don't know what she knows

What does she know?
It seems she's seen it all once or twice
And there's still a kindness in those hazel eyes
She never seems surprised when I come back after I go
I don't know what she knows
I don't know what she knows

What does she know?
She seems to know when words are no use
She seems able to be and not just do
She makes our love a garden, and she somehow makes it grow
I don't know what she knows
I don't know what she knows
I don't know what she knows
