I Thought You Should Know Steve Earle

[Verse 1]
I been watching you watching me
I could feel your eyes from way across the room
But now that I'm holding you close, I can see
Ain't no way I'm gonna get around you
I won't tell you I don't need you tonight
I won't pretend I ain't burning inside
Your skin glowing soft in the silver moonlight
The shadows where the promises hide
The bittersweet taste of your kiss
It's all more than I can resist

[Chorus]
But if you're thinking about breaking my heart
You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go
Somebody else already tore it apart
And I thought you should know

[Verse 2]
Maybe this is all that you want
Maybe you're just as lonesome as me
A shoulder that you can cry on
And a warm safe place you can be
Someone to call in the middle of the night
When the ghosts in your bedroom won't rest
And two arms to hold you tight
I promise that I'll do my best
To give you everything I got to give
Keep your secrets as long as I live
