Collins, Phil - You Know What I Mean Lyrics
Just as I thought I'd make it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left
Just as I'd learned to be lonely
You're not sure if you're ready
But ready or not, you'll take what you've got and leave
Leave me alone with my heart
I'm putting the pieces back together again
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
I can do without you, know what I mean...
I wish I could write a love song,
To show you the way I feel
Oh but like it or not, take what you've got and leave
Leave me alone with my heart
It's broken in two and I'm not thinking too straight
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
You've taken everything else, you know what I mean

Collins, Phil You Know What I Mean Comments
Bleeding hell mate this takes me back too 1981 freezing cold winter in south London me a skinhead still am. But this album sums up that time like nothing else. Such a beautiful album. Thanks Phil 👍👍
This whole album is kind of the ultimate f-u to a former lover lol
Still holds up. And with his son...awesome

Maior cantor pop da história, espertacular Phil Collins!
My favorite Phil Collins song. This got me through a very rough patch. Thank you, Phil.
great ballad
A beautiful song....
Gestern in Kölle live gehört......Gänsepelle überall.....!!!
Just as I thought I'd make it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left
Just as I'd learned to be lonely
You call up to tell me
You're not sure if you're ready
But ready or not, you'll take what you've got and leave
Leave me alone with my heart
I'm putting the pieces back together again
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
I can do without you, know what I mean...
I wish I could write a love song,
To show you the way I feel
Seems you don't like to listen
Oh but like it or not, take what you've got and leave
Leave me alone with my heart
It's broken in two and I'm not thinking too straight
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
You've taken everything else, you know what I mean
best album ever..
What a touching heartwarming song!😌
IT'S REALLY BUTEPHL FEELING.....🌺🌹🌷🦋
Phil really means what you really sing. You are a living legend and you are still beating in our hearts and we wish you health and wellness
Still..listening this..in 2019😢
When I was in school,1980's. I was slated for liking Phil Collins and Genesis. Not fashionable or trendy, see.
Other kids were into Inxs or Guns n Roses. Carried more street cred. 35 years later I'm STILL listening in 2019, yes. I can afford to go to concerts too now I care not a jot about image. 'You know what I mean' is a good song.
Love Phil. There I said it. Got it off my chest. Glad to know I'm not alone, sat hear listening. 😀😀😀😀😀
Listen to the Anni-Frid Lyngstad version of this song, produced by Phil Collins. Frida is magnificent in her interpretation.
Sam B indeed. She sounds like she’s falling apart in her rendition. They’re Phil’s words but in her version, it’s clearly about Benny Andersson.
I agree with you. Frida is fantástic in her interpretation .
Saw Phil last week in Perth sing this with his son playing the piano, couldn't believe I was the only one who sang along, must have have been the only one there who's had their heart broken 2. LOL
Oddly I could envisage Beyonce doing a live performance of this beautiful song Just her, in an evening dress sitting on a stool alongside a piano and orchestra. Won't happen of course but it would be really something...
Sad song and great piano. The Melody...
God I relate to this. Crying..
Cried...no floods. The most heart wrenching song Phil ever wrote. What a talent.
beautiful and very meaningful
face value best album of all time best track ever
6 idiots support today’s shit artists
One of the most beautiful PC's songs... Sublime!
damn, I am on the sad part of youtube again ...
It saddens me that I’ll never be able to see Phil Collins in concert. I’m only 23, but Phil and Genesis have done so much for me and have helped me grow and get through so many situations that I’ve faced in life. He’s hands down my favorite artist and genesis is my favorite band. So much passion and emotion. I would’ve never known about this song had I not read his memoir. Truly thankful for him as a human. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
27 and I just saw him in Australia. He was unreal! First and possibly last time!
Good man. Here, here. Well said.
I've seen him in concert many times and, like you, I was inspired.
One of a few artists who sound as good live as on record. A genuine talent.
Zachary Flores I’m only 16 but I’ve been listening to his music for years. It really helps me with homework and stress
I see Phil live tomorrow for probably the last time ever. I heard he will play this song which I guarantee will get me emotional.
Josie H it got me emotional when I heard it in concert and got my dad crying and the only time I’ve seen him cry was at his brothers funeral.
https://youtu.be/kz4MdKkS4vE
It's a very beautiful song. Sometimes it makes me cry!
Ele Same here (sobs)
probably my favorite song
This is like all men sorry men but its true xxx
Sally Winyard even though he clearly wrote this song about an ex-lover, who I’m near certain was a woman, as he’s heterosexual... 🤔
If that's a fact, Sally (as you seem to think it is), that means you've experienced "all" men. Is that a fact too? No wonder you're angry.
It's a heart-wrenching song.
Noooo I’m not like that. Tbh women the same then. I nearly went down for something I could never do
that is a very beautiful song, it makes me cry very often. i wish phil Collins's songs were well known in that times
Joaquin Rodriguez I hope you mean just this song. You realise he is one of the biggest artists of all time.
I swear he wrote this on behalf of me!! It's how I feel about the one I love (my ex) in a way I could never express!! <3 <3
back in'90, I recorded this endlessly on a 120 cassette for my ex. she was none too pleased. I asked why, and she didn't have a good answer. "Good answer", I said.
Dear resuscitation of mine,
leave me alone and stop being an object of showing off.
sei sempre un grande
Such a beautiful, underrated Phil Collins song, wish this one had more exposure. I've actually cried listening to this.
He is a giant, a genius
Me too ❤️
@Chris MacKinnon *1982
I didn't even know that Frida's cover was a cover until today.
Well, he's singing it regularly on his current tour, so rejoice! :D
Chris MacKinnon one of the better covers of a song imo, she really does the song justice.
Une merveille de chanson 💜💜💜💜
Phil would only do this song in one take from beginning to end. Other songs, like other artists, songs can be put together from different takes from different recording sessions. Phil never did this with this stunning song and it shows. From beginning to end it is one take - he just sings his heart out. What a song, what a man.
i'm hear because i had a dream last night , i was walking along a harbour and heard someone singing this and when i turned round it was phil and he invited me on to his boat for a beer and a chat , if only it would come true i would be the luckiest man in the world
@bernie sharp wow what a dream!
He is the most incredible singer, song writer and man.......ever !! If I could only meet him 🙏❤️
02.34 of bliss and pure beauty..one voice and its piano..Phil Collins you're a God's gift!
i could not agree more with you buddy phil Collins is one of my favourite singers in this whole world I love him and this song is incredible. you have great taste in music my friend
So sad, yet beautiful...
Does yet mean "however" here?
Johanna Jäger yes. "yet" has that meaning when used as a conjunction
