Husker Du - Now That You Know Me lyrics

When we were as strangers it was so long ago I liked you but I lacked the courage to tell you so Wanted you by my side but never below me It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me Now that you know me The situation was just right for us to be friends And gradually upon your love I came to depend I wasted time afraid someday you'd outgrow me It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me [following verse appears in the live Hüsker Dü version, but not the solo version] You gave your love and gave a compliment to my soul The two of us became a part of a greater whole You weren't concerned about the heartaches you('ve) show(n) me It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me We comforted and gave each other security Protect you from the world and all its insanity When waves of madness threatened to undertow me It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me (repeat first verse) It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me (repeat al coda)+
