LYRICS FOR "It Takes One to Know One"

Burned your way in under my skin
When nobody was lookin'
It's so easy to talk about me
When I'm not around to say

I may not be a man but you're not one either
It takes one to know one
(It takes one to know one)
Who's calling names and pointing fingers?
It takes one to know one
(It takes one to know one)

Cut me then you blame me for bleeding
You won't see me begging and pleading
It's so easy to talk about me
When I'm not around to say

I may not be a man but you're not one either
It takes one to know one
(It takes one to know one)
Who's calling names and pointing fingers?
It takes one to know one

Tell me what I'm supposed to do
That's funny coming from you
You're not a boy not yet a man
Never even done time in a van

You don't know what you're talkin' about
It's about time somebody called you out
Tell me am I speaking English
Or is this just a death wish?

Just because we're face to face
Doesn't mean that we're eye to eye

I may not be a man but you're not one either
It takes one to know one
Who's calling names and pointing fingers?
It takes one to know one
(It takes one to know one)

It's age before beauty and you got neither
It takes one to know one
(It takes one to know one)
