Songwriters are by nature curious and also observers in the way that detectives tend to work – a sort of aloof detachment. Knowing as much as possible about how people operate is, however, potentially a source of discomfort in some relationships; knowing too much in essence. The song was inspired by a wish to reassure that being knowledgeable did not mean being judgmental. And also perhaps by an awareness that objective self-observance is practically impossible – hoping in other words that the non-judgmental quality was reciprocated in those relationships.

CURIOSITY
I know a thing or two about you
I know all the little things that you do
I know how to make you pout
All the things you can’t do without
I’ve had a think or two about you
I know just what it is makes you tick
I know every move, nuance and trick
I know how to draw you out
All the things you could do without
I know a thing or two about you
I know you, you have a friend in me
I know you, I’m not quite what you see
I know you, through curiosity
I know you, I hope that you know me
I know your idiosyncratic ways
I know how you like to fill your free days
I know what you think about
All your fears, all your nagging doubts
I know a thing or two about you
I know you, you have a friend in me
I know you, I’m not quite what you see
I know you, through curiosity
I know you, I hope that you know me
I know you, you have a friend in me
I know you, I’m not quite what you see
I know you, through curiosity
I know you, I hope that you know me
I know a thing or two about you
I know a thing or two about you
I know a thing or two about you
I know a thing or two about you
