It Takes One To Know One
Flatt And Scruggs · Other Songs - Flatt And Scruggs
You're laughing and talking much too loud
But I see a little tear peaking through
It takes one to know one and I know you
It takes one to know one and I know you
The little tear through your smiles I see through
You've been hurt and your frightened you're so blue
It takes one to know one and I know you
Little girl please take hold of my hand
Just go right on and cry I'll understand
Pay no mind if start crying too
It takes one to know one and I know you
It Takes One To Know One
