Know​-​it​-​all

lyrics

Please forgive my outburst
I don't often lose my temper
But you really push all my buttons
You're too intelligent for your own good
You psychoanalyse then reply
You always fire with such precision
You use sarcasm like it's a blanket
The world is on fire but you are
safe under it

What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all
But one day you'll take a great fall
And it's gonna hurt cos of the height
You've elevated
What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all
But one day you'll take a great fall
And it's gonna hurt cos of the height
You've elevated yourself up to

You have best friends at each others throats
You set them up then you love to boast
We are all just pawns in your chess game
Every single one of us end up getting played
There ain't no escape from you
Ain't no secret you can't extract
And there never is a witty enough
come back to stop you in your tracks

What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all
But one day you'll take a great fall
And it's gonna hurt cos of the height
You've elevated yourself up to
What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all
But one day you'll take a great fall
And it's gonna hurt cos of the height
You've elevated yourself up to

Oh it's gonna hurt when you take a fall
Oh it's gonna hurt when you finally
come tumbling down

What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all
But one day you'll take a great fall
And it's gonna hurt cos of the height
You've elevated
What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all
But one day you're gonna take a great fall
And it's gonna hurt cos of the height
You've elevated yourself up to
