As If They Know Lyrics

They say you left town for the City of Angels

How in hell did you get in

You with your dreams of stars and glory

In your jewels of rhinestone and tin

But under the lights it's not the past that you're in

It's the style that you wear, the smile that you're in

And all around, I hear your name

And the story's never twice the same

All around, I see the traces of your big town dreams

In their small town faces

Where you go and what you've done

When it's heard and told

When it's judged and gone

They say it's so as if they know

As if they know

They say you were found by a lawyer at the bar

Who was coming in to look for a band

They say you're deal was sealed with kisses in the car

The wedding was more than grand

Now the room got smashed, everybody's was tanked

Gift and gossip exchanged, the host and hostess were thanked

(What a wingding)

And all around, I hear your name

And the story's never twice the same

All around, I see the traces of your big town dreams

In their small town faces

Where you go and what you've done

When it's heard and told

When it's judged and gone

They say it's so as if they know

As if they know

They say he's looking for another band, another girl

So you settled up, settled down, settled for a slower world

Now they're talking about their brand new neighbor

But I don't think she'll stay long

They say she could never want more

Well, then again, they have been wrong

(A time or two)

And all around, I hear your name

And the story's never twice the same

All around, I see the traces of your big town dreams

In their small town faces

Where you go and what you've done

When it's heard and told

When it's judged and gone

They say it's so as if they know

As if they know, as if they know, as if they know

They say it's so as if they know, as if they know

As if they know, they say it so, say it so

They say it's so as if they know, as if they know

As if they know, they say it so, say it so

They say it's so as if they know, as if they know

As if they know, they say it so, say it so

They say it's so as if they know, as if they know

As if they know, they say it so, say it so

They say it's so as if they know, as if they know

As if they know, they say it so, say it so

They say it's so as if they know, as if they know
