I Know That Look (Grunge)

I KNOW THAT LOOK - GRUNGE VERSION
© Jim Molinelli

[Verse 1]
I open the door and see your smiling face
It brings up another time and place.
You come inside and we pour some wine
You’re looking good... yeah, looking fine.
it’s been a minute, what brings you around?
You hem and you haw, looking at the ground.
Takin’ a page from your old handbook…
Are you even aware your face shows ‘that look’?

[Chorus]
I know that look…
I’ve seen it before
The same day I sent you out that door
It threw me for a loop, but not any more.
I know that look…

You fooled me once, shame on you
No damn way you'll make it two
Go find a guy who has no clue…
'Cause I know that look…

Yeah, I know that look.

[solo]

[Verse 2]
You sip your wine and swirl it 'round yer glass
Then finally say “I came to see you at last...
I’ve grown up some, put my old ways aside,
I'm hopin' that ""we"" can have another try?”
Without hesitation I say “No! Just no…”
Don’t act surprised. You HAD to know.”
At a loss for words, you look shook
That was the moment you deployed that look.

[Chorus]
I know that look…
I’ve seen it before
The same day I sent you out that door
It threw me for a loop, but not any more.
I know that look…

You fooled me once, shame on you
No damn way you'll make it two
Go find a guy who has no clue…
'Cause I know that look…

Yeah, I know that look.

[solo]

[Verse 3]
I clean the glasses and I grab a beer
Still can’t believe you came back here
You really have your head in the clouds
Watching the game I’m STILL laughing out loud
Maybe you'll get it. And maybe you won’t.
Some people grow up... some people don’t
Can't you see THAT LOOK tore us apart
Figure it out... Bless your heart!

[Chorus]
I know that look…
I’ve seen it before
The same day I sent you out that door
It threw me for a loop, but not any more.
I know that look…

You fooled me once, shame on you
No damn way you'll make it two
Go find a guy who has no clue…
'Cause I know that look…

Yeah, I know that look.
