Underwood, Carrie - I Know You Won't Lyrics






I know you don't mean to be mean to me
'Cause when you want to you can make me feel like we belong
We belong
Lately you make me feel all I am is a back-up plan
I say I'm done and then you smile at me and I forget
Everything I said

I buy into those eyes
And into your lies

You say you'll call, but I know you
You say you're coming home, but I know you
You say you'll call, but I know you won't
You say you'll call, but I know you won't

I wish you were where you're supposed to be
Close to me
But here I am just staring at this candle burning out

And still no sound

Of footsteps on my stairs
Or your voice anywhere

You say you'll call, but I know you
You say you're coming home, but I know you
You say you'll call, but I know you won't
You say you'll call, but I know you won't

You say you'll call, but I know you
You say you're coming home, but I know you
You say you'll call, but I know you won't
You say you'll call, but I know you won't

Underwood, Carrie I Know You Won't Comments
  1. f.... ....

    ya, so, this was a long time ago
    Carrie Underwood still shines- never mind the amazing singing voice- because she shows several times in this performance (and still in recent ones) how pleased she is to be experiencing the audience enjoy her being pleased with herself that she nails parts of the song. Convoluted sentence there, but there it is

  2. K.... U....

    Kelly Clarkson's version is superior in every way.

  3. b.... g....

    My Favorite
    🍃❤🍃 Sings with all her Heart & Soul.. I just can't say enough about this performance. WOW

  4. L.... H....

    Doesn't compare to Kelly's version.

  5. J.... F....

    This is one of Carrie's best vocals live!! Those notes are so hard to hit!

  6. S.... R....

    I personally don't like her voice but damn she nailed it, i loved this performance

  7. A.... c....

    Did anyone else catch Robin Williams say wow at the end?? If you make that man say that would have made my life (career wise)

  8. D.... ....

    숨은 명곡이다 진짜

  9. s.... f....

    Still listening in 2019 Love this live performance, Carrie Underwood is a beautiful and amazing singer❤️😍

  10. K.... ....

    Her voice control is crazy !!!!!

  11. P.... H....

    MARAVILHOSA PERFEITA TUDO

  12. G.... R....

    Fuckkkkk goosebumps

  13. G.... R....

    Her greatest song. I live for this tune

  14. M.... T....

    Eeek! This is pitchy all over, and she's yelling all the belted notes. I really wanted to like this, but the technique is...not great, and really getting in the way of the emotional content of the song. :/

    M.... T....

    I partially disagree, she was quite resonant with the belts and sustain too (especially 3:10), but yea the D5's she strained and overpushed so much...she only supported the bb4's here lol and she is a soprano (but she acts like a mezzo for stylistic purposes).

  15. J.... F....

    This song makes me emotional I wish it was a single from Carnival Ride

  16. H.... B....

    I’m seeing Carrie tomorrow, I will be the double parked with wine, bearded man in tears! Come say hi! 😂

  17. C.... B....

    This song is so painful.

  18. A.... C....

    I love this song but why does she stop and smile during a song that is supposed to be sad?

  19. N.... G....

    She came long way work hard get there I am prome her sad has left mike fisher 🙂

  20. a.... ....

    I'm not a fan but wow, what a potent vocal delivery and what a great track. Very impressive.

  21. L.... K....

    Amazing , beautiful , and can perform like no one else. Know there's a God when you hear her beautiful voice. Carrie thank you for all your music truly Amazing💖🎶🎼🎵🎹🎸🎤🎶💖

  22. J.... C....

    Not a lot of emotion from her vocals, boring...
    Although, the BELT WAS JUST EXCEPTIONAL ....

  23. T.... ....

    I can't feel anything from her singing unfortunately. Her smiling between long notes seems just so disconnected from the meaning of the song... I feel like she's mostly trying to demonstrate she can hold high notes here and forgot what the song is about. Kelly Clarkson did a much better job on her cover.

  24. O.... R....

    I think is one of her best live performances. She is incredible.

  25. B.... Q....

    I love he so much

  26. F.... ....

    Where's the performance where she does the note for 20 seconds?

  27. Z.... P....

    I come back a few times a week to watch this video! One of my favorite Carrie performances!

  28. S.... O....

    Lovely version but I think rascall flats version tops it

  29. d.... l....

    How anyone can say she screams is beyond me. Such control!!

  30. A.... T....

    Such a beautiful song!😍

  31. B.... G....

    I still love this performance. I love ❤️ you Baby Bear 🐻
    CALL ME 🤙

  32. J.... C....

    The 55 people that dislike, we know that they won't come home.

  33. j.... ....

    歌詞和訳 (Japanese translation of lyrics)

    あなたがわざと私に意地悪なわけじゃないって
    分かっているわ
    だってあなたは
    私が居るべき所にいると
    感じさせてくれるもの
    私達は合っているの
    最近あなたは
    私のことを予備の計画のように
    感じさせるわ
    私は「もう疲れたわ」と言い
    あなたは私に微笑み
    私は自分が言ったことすべてを忘れるの

    私はあなたの目に黙従するの
    あなたの嘘にね

    あなたは電話すると言う
    でも私は分かっているの
    あなたは家に帰っていると言う
    でも私は分かっているの
    あなたは電話すると言う
    でもしないって分かっているの
    あなたは電話すると言う
    でもしないって分かっているの

    あなたが居るべき場所にいることを願うわ
    私の傍に
    でも私はここで
    燃え尽きるキャンドルを見つめているだけ
    階段の足音や
    あなたの声がどこにもないまま

    あなたは電話すると言う
    でも私は分かっているの
    あなたは家に帰っていると言う
    でも私は分かっているの
    あなたは電話すると言う
    でもしないって分かっているの
    あなたは電話すると言う
    でもしないって分かっているの

    あなたは電話すると言う
    でも私は分かっているの
    あなたは家に帰っていると言う
    でも私は分かっているの
    あなたは電話すると言う
    でもしないって分かっているの
    あなたは電話すると言う
    でもしないって分かっているの

  34. 5.... ....

    This performance still gives me goosebumps

  35. K.... U....

    Get real. There is nothing special about Carrie's version of this song but loud caterwauling at inappropriate times. Kelly Clarkson's version is drenched "real" emotion that will move your soul. Carrie just doesn't get it or have it.

    K.... U....

    KC FAN Kelly? Is that you?

    K.... U....

    @StreamAllIWantForChristmasIs You That's not how it works and you know it. I didn't like that song until Kelly sang it and gave it the real emotion it deserved. Then of course when you look back and hear Carrie's you realized everything she's done wrong. The comment section is for comments and discussions, not just for irrational fans throwing flowers around. Most of the "bad" comments here are pretty descriptive and solid.

  36. K.... J....

    modern day celine dion

  37. S.... R....

    2:50 WTF???

  38. D.... G....

    Love this woman...........such an amazing talent since she won American Idol all those years ago...x

  39. J.... S....

    Imagine if she sang this with her voice now. 🙌🏼🙌🏼👸🏻👸🏻

  40. M.... S....

    For me carrie is up there with mariah, whitney, celine!!!!!

  41. G.... a....

    Why is she hitting that "call" so hard...brassy...sounds good but Kelly...murders this song...

    G.... a....

    Look ever since kelly sang carrie song u people criticize carrie first of all kelly is pop carrie stayed true to country compare kelly to someone else

  42. l.... c....

    This is carrie underwood song no one can do a cover of this

    l.... c....

    Kelly Clarkson did and it was beautiful.

  43. A.... A....

    2:51 i thought someone went up to the stage and just slapped her lol

  44. R.... N....

    🙂😐😶😑😥😥🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

  45. J.... C....

    weak dynamics it sucks.. reminds me of a low quality high school classroom program. Kelly Clarkson did a way better job singing this song.

    J.... C....

    Joey Cronologia She sounds better than a hs program 😂

    J.... C....

    lol ... no.

    J.... C....

    Carrie by far.

    J.... C....

    I agree. I felt like I was watching a bad American Idol performance of someone too young to properly emote who tries to shine with long high generic belts.

  46. A.... P....

    Me encanta esta canción xD..

  47. t.... ....

    AMAZING from a GORGEOUS angel

  48. J.... S....

    ♡Stunning performance♡

  49. J.... R....

    Breathtaking

  50. J.... ....

    Bcuz she didnt sing it like before

  51. G.... H....

    Kelly's cover of this is 1000x better and more dramatic/filled with emotion.  Sorry, not sorry;)

    G.... H....

    Carries is better

    G.... H....

    Very true... Kelly has more power, emotions and of course Range than Carrie...fact

    G.... H....

    I hated Kelly's cover of this song and all her unecessary voice embellishments throughout. She didnt do high notes, she screamed them. Hated her cover. No one sings this better than Carrie. No one

    G.... H....

    @Lillian EversoleKelly is not screaming at all... And her notes were so much higher (belting G5s) and powerful, plus more emotions than Carrie... No one sings better than Kelly, no one

    G.... H....

    I totally agree. Anyone here saying that this song is not meant to be sung with so much emotion needs to go back and read the lyrics. It's literally about the despair of being with someone who keeps disappointing you but yet you're still so in love with them and can't go away. Only irrational Carrie fans would say she sang it better. Kelly literally brings me to tears with her cover!

  52. J.... W....

    I love power notes she did them effortlessly

  53. G.... R....

    LOVE LOVE LOVE

  54. J.... L....

    Superhuman breath control and lung capacity...she holds the "won't" for 11 seconds at 3:11. Thank you for this video. She was only 25 here

    J.... L....

    All you should hold you're breath tell you black out...

    J.... L....

    CARRIE longest note until now, I think it's the last note in HOW GREAT THOU ART performance with Vince Gill. It's 16 seconds.

    J.... L....

    All of this was going thru my head while watching this. She was my age wow

    J.... L....

    Jord Eli i think both live versions are great but I actually do like Kelly’s version better

    J.... L....

    Jord Eli We aren’t talking about them

  55. f.... ....

    i think anyone would struggle breathing during this song.

  56. N.... A....

    NO LIKE BUTOON

  57. C.... ....

    SHE IS MY LIFE 😍😍😍😍

  58. N.... R....

    Not her best vocals

  59. A.... W....

    Probably my favorite song she's ever recorded

  60. M.... B....

    Best Song that never became a single!!!!

  61. W.... O....

    Why would someone dislike this?? this is amazing!!

    W.... O....

    Ray F JEOULOUS

    W.... O....

    Because at the time of this writing, there were 67 idiots.

  62. 5.... ....

    What a passionate performance. Never heard this song until a few days ago. Now I can't stop listening to it.

  63. D.... ....

    Absolutely amazing.

  64. J.... N....

    I love this song, I love Carrie, the performance was absolute perfection (but when is it not when Carrie is the one performing), but this doesn't really seem like an appropriate song choice for the setting. I think it would've been better suited at the Grammy's perhaps, but when it's young adults and teenagers watching I think more upbeat tunes are better choices. But I loved everything about this performance; it was spectacular and there is nothing I would change about it.

    J.... N....

    Jillian Nelson Yeah, I love this song and performance but I don't get why she/they chose it for this award show. It wasn't even a single.

    J.... N....

    You realize this is the People's Choice Awards not the Kids Choice Awards, right?

  65. k.... t....

    THIS is why awards shows used to be good. Actual performances. Outstanding artists. Less focus on live streams and red carpets.

    k.... t....

    k tab I'm pretty sure not much has changed since 2009 in terms of red carpet. They probably had the same celeb focus and crappy "singers" then as we have now. Regardless, I'm sure the teen audience was not expecting this powerful performance from beautiful Carrie. I love every second of this video.

    k.... t....

    Now it's bullshit non talented rap and hip hop instead of actual real music, I stopped watching a while back cuz they started to suck bad

  66. S.... S....

    Phenomenon!

  67. K.... R....

    there's 34 people that need to get there head examined!

    K.... R....

    37 now.........:(:(:(:(

    K.... R....

    42 now.......🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

    K.... R....

    49 😭

    K.... R....

    That number is rising and I think they may all be driving in Orlando.

  68. P.... G....

    BEAUTIFUL!!! NO ONE does it better. the may do it ina diferent way....but, it can't compare to Carrie Underwood. She hits the notes and gives it the feeling like no on else. She is a one of a kind. End of story.

  69. S.... S....

    I love her singing this song! =)

    I can't believe some people think she can't sing. There stupid. Especially when she sings something like this!

  70. T.... L....

    one of the biggest regret in 2009: they are so moved and touched by carrie underwood's voice that they forgot to stand up after the performance..

    T.... L....

    I was thinking the same thing you can't even stand up and give her standing ovation, .sad!!

    T.... L....

    absolutely beautiful, Carrie

  71. E.... B....

    She's amazing,its sad she doesn't get the recognition she deserves.

  72. e.... ....

    Taylor is not even worthy of singing backups for Ms Underwood.

    e.... ....

    Jesus Christ, it must be really sad to be obsessed with hating a person so much you start talking about her when literally NOBODY else is mentioning her name. By the words of a Grammy winning song: "You, with that same big loud opinion
    , but nobody's listening, washed up and ranting about the same old bizarre things, grumbling on about how I can't sing... But all you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life." I feel so sorry for you.

    e.... ....

    Lizandra Barboza ma’am you’re the one that looks obsessed replying to a post 8 yrs old ??? everyone is entitled to their opinion regardless whether you agree or not. Having said that Carrie has huge range and perhaps that was the point of the post in the first place .. Be at peace ✌️ cheers

  73. S.... ....

    I will gladly take some under pitch singing from Carrie which doesn't last too long. As opposed to what Taylor gives all the time which includes poor breath control, off-key notes, and yelling. Yes Carrie had a few vocal mishaps in the beginning. (And I didn't cringe either) But once she went into high gear, she became an unstoppable force. Saw her in concert last night. She was wonderful. A few flat notes here and there, the overall picture was a beauty. The price was worth it. Go Carrie !

  74. w.... ....

    BLODDY NOOO sranding ovation.... watt

  75. A.... D....

    @loreleipm yeah sure. what i mean is that she was flat. like when she tried to hit notes (mainly throughout the verses) she scooped up to them instead of hitting them correctly...its because her breathing and placement were incorret

  76. l.... ....

    @AshleyDeLaRosa Could you please explain what you mean by under pitch???

  77. A.... D....

    She's so beautiful but I was a bit disappointed because she was under pitch

  78. T.... S....

    @Sinf0nia LOL me too! such an awesome performance!

  79. T.... S....

    wow.. words cannot express how i feel about this performance.. just unspeakable. in the highest way.

  80. p.... ....

    IMPECCABLE PERFORMANCE! She's even better live!

  81. S.... L....

    AMAZING.favorite performance. everrr!! shes beautiful and an awesome singer!

  82. J.... R....

    this is the best I have EVER heard her sound. I mean she always sounds amazing....but OMG this was a lesson in singing ladies and gent......good Lord!

  83. l.... ....

    Just so Amazing!!! Is she truly a heaven sent to blow us all with her powerful voice? She's an angel flesh and blood.

  84. t.... ....

    Now Id like to see that bitch Taylor return all those awards and pass it to the person who truelly deserves it, Carrie underwood!

  85. J.... B....

    @oTanyao the audience suck! If it was me, I would have fainted after that performance.

  86. r.... t....

    I feel this performance was her BEST ever! And the audience just sat there at the end ??? Don't get that at all!?!?

  87. S.... ....

    Wow what a big voice...this is a really difficult song, I never thought I'd hear her sing it live...this girl is TRULY talented. Especially live. GO Carrie!

    S.... ....

    She did it every night on the Blown Away tour, as the encore too, after singing for two hours already. She's superhuman.

  88. L.... D....

    I remember watching this live and thinking what an unbelievable live performer she is. This is a HARD song to sing and she delivers it perfectly. I love her sparkly mic, too!

  89. B.... R....

    I cannot believe they stayed seated at the end of that!

  90. 2.... ....

    the best country artist period! carrie and martina!!!!

  91. R.... B....

    speechless :|

  92. �.... ....

    She is a best singer on live !

  93. C.... ....

    carries not just a country star shes a worldwide star with great crossover appeal! go to musickidjg please

  94. A.... R....

    Wow, what and incredible talent! I couldn't believe the audience didn't stand up either! What does it take to get them on their feet? She gave everything that they could want. Wonderful voice, emotion, lovely to look at!

  95. f.... ....

    Yes, hello, Carrie just won Entertainer of the Year at the ACMs congrats Carrie!!!!

  96. A.... Y....

    she took my breath away on this one! i have totally in awe of her! and i totally agree that she is even better now than she was before. she is simply amazing!!!
