Figured You Out

Nickelback · The Best Of Nickelback - Volume 1 [2013]

I like your pants around your feet

And I like the dirt that's on your knees

And I like the way you still say please

While you're looking up at me

You're like my favorite damn disease



And I love the places that we go

And I love the people that you know

And I love the way you can't say No

Too many long lines in a row

I love the powder on your nose



And now I know who you are

It wasn't that hard

Just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)



And now I know who you are

It wasn't that hard

Just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)



I like the freckles on your chest

And I like the way you like me best

And I like the way you're not impressed

While you put me to the test

I like the wine stains on your dress



I love the way you pass the check

And I love the good times that you wreck

And I love your lack of self respect

While you're passed out on the deck

I love my hands around your neck



And now I know who you are

It wasn't that hard

Just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)



And now I know who you are

It wasn't that hard

Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why

Why not before, you never tried

Gone for good, and this is it



I like your pants around your feet

And I like the dirt that's on your knees

And I like the way you still say please

While you're looking up at me

You're like my favorite damn disease



And I hate the places that we go

And I hate the people that you know

And I hate the way you can't say No

Too many long lines in a row

I hate the powder on your nose



And now I know who you are

It wasn't that hard

Just to figure you out

(Now I did, you wonder why)



And now I know who you are

It wasn't that hard

Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why

Why not before, you never tried

Gone for good, and this is it
