Lyrics I Wish I'd Known You Better - Tommy Womack

I Wish I'd Known You Better

I wish I’d known you better
You were born too soon
I was wearing diapers
When you were on your honeymoon
Went off in the Air Force
Came home when you could
I wish I’d known you better
But what I knew was good
You played football with Elvis
Took Susie for your wife
Got stationed in Billings
And led a military life
You smoke more Camel cigarettes
Than anybody should
I wish I’d know you better
But what I knew was good
Then there came Juanita
She wasn’t good for you
Then you got it right
When you hooked up with me
She went six months before ya
We all knew soon you would
I wish I’d known her better
But what I knew was good
There comes a time to say goodbye
And send you on your way
Turn your body into ashes
And get on with our day
I have one conversation now
I sorely wish we could
I wish I’d known you better
But what I knew was good
What I knew was good
