Another fragile castaway
Another big-shot scorned
You say you've got an opinion
and you know we've all been warned
But when your eyes run us up and down
We know it's time to go
You said you read a lot of Tolstoy
Gettin' to the club as the drunks pour in
Stayin' 'til they kick you out at close again
Never knew a fight you couldn't pick with words
Never heard a 'no' that you couldn't ignore
You're just another word for

Know-it-all
You really can't help it
Know-it-all
They really don't know
Know-it-all
You really can't help it
How can you show?

Know-it-all
Someone's gotta teach her
Know-it-all
You think that it's you
Know-it-all
You really can't help it
How can you show what they don't know?

At every coffee shop in town
At every bar's empty stool
We know you're gonna be there and ready to play the fool
You say it's actually like this
You say he really didn't mean that
Ooh, such a matter of nothing
Thick hair, familiar slouch
Explaining all the world from the back of your couch
God help a girl who doesn't know
She just made a date with the creep next door
Oh, fuck this moron

Know-it-all
You really can't help it
Know-it-all
They really don't know
Know-it-all
You really can't help it
How can you show?

Know-it-all
Will we ever know silence
Know-it-all
Can you ever let go?
Know-it-all
You really can't help it
How can you show what they don't know?

Oh, oh, oh


Cue the music, cue the lights
Cue your boyish drunken fights
Cue the headache, 3pm
Get up and do it all again
Cue the flowers, cue the sun
Cue your finger on your thumb
Think you're better than the best
Give it a God damn rest

Know-it-all
You little know-it-all
You're such a know-it-all
Ooh, you're just a know-it-all
Oh, you little know-it-all
You fuckin' know-it-all
Ooh, you're such a know-it-all
You're just a know-it-all!
