DON’T YOU KNOW ME BY NOW?

I was standing with my baby at the end of the bar
When this lady walked by wearing painted on jeans.
Every man was looking at this lady walking by,
Man, you gotta know that she was causing a scene.
When my woman saw me look, she started having a cow.
I said, “Baby don’t you know me by now?”

Oh baby, don’t you know me”
I say, baby don’t know me?
After all that we’ve been through,
You ought to know my love is true.
Oh baby, don’t you know me by now?

It doesn’t matter where we go, it doesn’t matter what we do,
Because my baby keeps thinking that I haven’t been true.
She’s always asking questions, wants to know where I’ve been
Any time that I’m apart from her an hour or two.
I wish she would believe me, but she doesn’t know how.
Oh baby, don’t you know me by now?
