Turtles – You Know What I Mean lyrics
You Know What I Mean
The Turtles
(Bonner-Gordon)
Intro: E F#7 E
E F#
Shouldn't we two be together
E F#
You know what I mean
A D G E
To be with you is something like a dream (you know what I mean)
A D
And if you want me to
A D G
I'll bring sunshine to you only
Verse 2:
E F#
You better stop, take a look about
E F#
You know what I mean
A D G E
If only you could see the dreams that seem to mean so much to me
A D
Then you'd know the reason why
A E
I would rather say "I do" than say
D A D A
Goodbye and let you go forever
B
Wouldn't we two be together
Bridge:
E F# E F#
Can't you see that I want you
A
For me forever
C# F#
Wouldn't we two be together
Verse 3:
B C# B C#
Do you know what I mean, can't you read in between the lines
E A D B
Sometimes I'm talking and it doesn't seem too clear
E A
But if you have to know
E B E / / / / / F# /
I'm in love if only you know what I mean
Coda [repeat to fade]:
E F# [vocals enter 3rd time; bass plays B-C# starting 6th time]
/ / / /
