It Takes One to Know Me Lyrics

It's true that i used to be crazy
And harder to love than most men
And the blood that ran in these tired hands
Was harder and wilder back then
And i don't feel as tall as i used to
Maybe it's just that i've grown
You're the one that held my hand when i fell
If i just couldn't make it alone

We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess you're the one

Your daughters are ladies of fortune
And your son an heir to the throne

And though this crown that i hold is
Tarnished and cold
It's a symbol of all that we own
Sometimes i wish i was younger
And could pick up the pieces and run
But then i look back on the matter of fact
And it's a race that we've already won

We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess you're the one

We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
And you knew the one
