Phil Collins - Only You Know And I Know Lyrics
We know you really only wanna hear
The things we like to say
But if I said to you please don't do it
You do it anyway
Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel
When I ask you, what you see in me
You say our love is blind
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Whenever I think I know you better
Better than I know myself
Then you say, O.K. what else
And when I run away you always cry
You always over react
But I don't know if you know how you really feel
But you better know before I get back
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Just try to remember
Now I'm the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember
I'm the one you're always thinking of
You told me, please try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember
It's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday
Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say, yes
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know...

Phil Collins Only You Know And I Know Comments
This could be my number two song from Phil Collins, I don't know how well it did back in the day, after writing this I'll check.
Wow, checked on Wikipedia, wasn't even a hit. Love it even more now.
Partner was a vulture. Great song.
Can't imagine living in the days of quality music.
solomonkain same :(
Annoyingly as people go this person we know as Phil Collins is hugely massively underestimated... and always has been.... this guy has forgotten more songs he wrote more than most bands have written all together.... and he is one person.... I guess some people just cannot handle all that talent oozing from one person... ... speaking for myself I have loved and appreciated your music for many many years so thank you Mr Phil Collins...(talk about a power song this song was awesome when it came out but listening to it on the modern sound system you can really appreciate The adrenaline oozing from it)
2:09 that "ooooooooooooo" placed there is simply genius!
PCgameplaz that's 2:11 but yes I love that whole part. My favourite part of the song
Perhaps 2:10 lol
PCgameplaz "Just try to Remember" man fanfuckingtastic, the musical intro to that verse after the melody of the rest of the song. Can't say enough
the horn section of this song will rape your ears if you hear it with headphones :-) absolutely mind blowing ! I think even Quincy Jones was really impressed with that horn section when he heard it
There will never be a great singer, songwriter & drummer like Phil Collins was in the 1970’s & 1980’s.
Michael Bertolino Phil is the person I compare Jen Ledger to in terms of being equally good singing and drumming.
Little Elvis was Phil's nickname in the music industry !
From No Jacket Required,
recorded in '84.

Steven well said ! Good man
@Geoffrey Jonathan Wilson thanks MATE
Great song
LOVE this song, I always used to hear it on the cassette tape as a kid after Sussudio and I'm surprised it was never a single, it's real upbeat and catchy just like Sussudio is! (I was born the same year No Jacket Required came out so it was a part of my childhood)
Phil played BASS and drums on this track. Great song. I like to left and right channel deal on Daryl's guitar solo. Really cool!
A very well written song. I listen to it ever since I 1st heard it..
what a song writer/ performwe,got to be right up there with the very very best
No Jacket Required is my favorite PC CD! :)
j'adore ce morceaux!!!
check out the horns. first I had a mono cassete player then after two years I heard this on stereo and horns got separated .like this since from start
Is there a track with a better Bridge?
Yes ... thousands.
@David Ryder Guess we'll agree to disagree on that one then 😁
16 people don't know what they mean to say.
Man the vocals
que potente rola \m/
I still have the cassette :) I played the hell outta that cassette back when I had the stereo and cassette deck in my 1993 Dodge Shadow. Later, I finally bought the CD so I could import it to my iTunes / iPod :)
Only jews know and I know.... 😉😉😉😉
hey, no Jim smith, yay :)
This tune is awesome from the album
Just try to remember
Now I'm the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember
I'm the one you're always thinking of
You told me, please try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember
It's not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday
absolute punch line great voice
For some strange reason, this song reminds me of Toyota's 1980s "Looking Out For Number 1" ad campaign.
I love phil's music, but there's 1 perticular song on his no jacket required album I just can't seem to think of the name. If anyone has the album please list the songs. Thanks
+Gwen Davis 1. Sussudio; 2. Only You Know And I Know (this song); 3. Long Long Way To Go; 4. I Don't Wanna Know; 5. One More Night; 6. Don't Lose My Number; 7. Who Said I Would?; 8. Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore?; 9. Inside Out; 10. Take Me Home; and 11. We Said Hello Goodbye.
Thank you, its Long Long Way To Go
Thank you Patrick #3
@Gwen Davis My pleasure to help.
great SONG, Sting sang backup on it too. Best song on No Jacket...
+callmetoddy You are soooooo right!!!!! My 12 year old son is getting into playing synthesizers and saxophone and is talking about doing trumpet just to mimick parts of this song!!! He already has the synthesizers down!!! I have told him that this is when music was great and Phil Collins and Genesis were the greatest
good luck my fellas
You teach your son well :-)
Love the Horns !!!
they 're absolutely mind blowing yes!
the main man , untouchable
@CJA Productions & Phalene Studios He actually didn't. He played synth bass on the synthesizer.
Phil is really great!!! Although he stole earth wind and fire horns hahahaha, he really knows how to use them!!
Phil has always been and always will be untouchable
Forgot---I had this on cassette back in the day and the other song loved off it was Don't Lose My Number, which was the bigger hit of the two.
Man I haven't heard this in years---I need to track this Cd down,quick! One of y faves from back in the day.
Good exercise song,too.
This is music boys !
It's written by a drummer --- hear that beat!
CallmeToddy p
80´s Flair Schwarzenegger Stallone Action Hahahahaha
eye on springfield
brilliant
Trivia: Collins played bass guitar on this track.
CJA Productions, Inc. lol. That is not a bass guitar. It’s a DX7.
Phil was brilliant !!!
A great all-rounder !!!
total and utter brilliance.
