Well, don't speak to me of love 'cause you don't know the truth. It's too late to say your sorry, just put on them walking shoes. Did you think I wouldn't notice? Did you think I didn't see? Well, you could fool me once. Hell, shame on you. Fool me twice, that's shame on me. 'Cause I know now, I know now, I know now, it don't mean a thing. I said, "I know now, it don't mean a thing." A sweet Desdamona. Lock away your fate. Your own hell's forsaken you as I go out your gate. When the wolves come to take you, I will not be there. Don't look to me to save you. You can drown for all I care 'cause I know now, it don't mean a thing. It don't mean a, it don't mean a- I said, "I know now, it don't mean a thing." Don't mean it, don't mean it, don't mean it, no. Don't mean it, don't mean it, don't mean it, no. Well, I was living in your shadow way too long. I was frightened of the light when the walls came down on Jericho. Damn, those trumpets showed me right. Well, don't try so hard 'cause I know what you want and, honey, I know where you been. Well don't tell me I'm wrong. Don't tell me that you love me. Don't you talk about going again. Now I know, now I know. I said, "now I know, it don't mean a thing." Don't mean it, don't mean it, don't mean it, no. Don't mean it, don't mean it, don't mean it, no. I said, "now I know, it don't mean a thing." Don't mean a thing, don't mean a- Now I know, you don't mean a thing. Now you know, now you, now you, now you know, now you, now you.
