You Should Know

with lips like cocaine
and music in her teeth
she laughs like a bandit
she loves like a thief
they caught her red-handed
knife up her sleeve
she's nothing but trouble
boy, she's just what you need

you should know, you should know
the things she's scared to confess
the knot you put in her chest
you should know, you should know

she's a carolina river
you're california's son
she thinks that you're dangerous
you think she could be fun
her man doesn't know you
she hides your name 'neath her tongue
his metalwork hands
can't hold her when she starts to run

you should know, you should know
the things she's scared to confess
the knot you put in her chest
you should know, you should know

she's got a jar a bootleg whisky
and mischief in her eyes
you have no defense, boy
i don't know why you try

you should know, you should know
the things she's scared to confess
the knot you put in her chest
you should know, you should know
