The Lyrics
TO KNOW HIM IS HELL
People in my life have been so good to me,
But there are exceptions to this rule.
And I know someone in particular
Taking me for granted and a fool.
Thinking back, I should have realised earlier
Though in truth at times I couldn’t tell,
But then I saw him for the man he was,
And at last I knew, to know him’s hell.
He is so foul (oh so foul)
He is so bad (oh so bad)
What was I thinking, he makes me mad.
I’m just so glad that I discovered he
Wasn’t for me, and never be,
(He’ll never change, of that I’m certain),
To know him is hell.
No-one in my life has been so bad to me,
No-one has completely cramped my style.
And if he ever tried to come up close,
That’s when I would go and run a mile.
Thinking back, I should have just ignored the guy,
Things he did, he should be in a cell.
But he was ever so persistent then,
But quite soon I knew, to know him’s hell.
He is so foul (oh so foul)
He is so bad (oh so bad)
What was I thinking, he makes me mad.
How could I know? Why I should go,
Should have known right away,
I could have left the first day.
He is so foul, he is so bad,
What was I thinking, he makes me mad.
I’m just so glad that I discovered he
Wasn’t for me, and never be,
(He’ll never change, of that I’m certain),
To know him is hell,
And at last the world will know it,
To know him is hell.
People in my life have been so good to me,
But there are exceptions to this rule.
And I know someone in particular
Taking me for granted and a fool.
Thinking back, I should have realised earlier
Though in truth at times I couldn’t tell,
But then I saw him for the man he was,
And at last I knew, to know him’s hell.
He is so foul (oh so foul)
He is so bad (oh so bad)
What was I thinking, he makes me mad.
I’m just so glad that I discovered he
Wasn’t for me, and never be,
(He’ll never change, of that I’m certain),
To know him is hell.
No-one in my life has been so bad to me,
No-one has completely cramped my style.
And if he ever tried to come up close,
That’s when I would go and run a mile.
Thinking back, I should have just ignored the guy,
Things he did, he should be in a cell.
But he was ever so persistent then,
But quite soon I knew, to know him’s hell.
He is so foul (oh so foul)
He is so bad (oh so bad)
What was I thinking, he makes me mad.
How could I know? Why I should go,
Should have known right away,
I could have left the first day.
He is so foul, he is so bad,
What was I thinking, he makes me mad.
I’m just so glad that I discovered he
Wasn’t for me, and never be,
(He’ll never change, of that I’m certain),
To know him is hell,
And at last the world will know it,
To know him is hell.
