Santigold - Who I Thought You Were Lyrics
Hey now take a look at you
Hosed down in a million dollar suit
But I knew you when that wasn't you
I knew you when you had a clue
Big man, driving a big car
I knew you when you was a star
I knew when no one thought you were
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can't be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you're poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here you actin' like we owe ya
Last time I tried to call you up
I couldn't reach you 'cause you were stuck so far up
I knew you when you were just rude
I knew I loved your attitude
Five minutes all that you got left
Long way down boy I wouldn't hold your breath
I knew you when you knew the time
I knew you for your bottom line
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can't be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you're poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here you actin' like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were
Now you got a lot of gall
Tell you frankly I'm appalled
I know you know better
Where you going on that ladder
Got all the girls runnin' they with you
All of your lackeys they're thirsty and you are too
Your enemies they tell you it's all fine
I tell you better watch it walkin' a thin line
Ask if I used to know you I don't know
'Cause these days it's like it's just like I never seen your face before
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can't be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you're poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here you actin' like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were
I don't like you
I don't like you

LYRICS
Hey now take a look at you
Hosed down in your million dollar suit
But I knew you when that wasn't you
I knew you when you had a clue
Big man, driving a big car
Funny how you can spin so fast so far
I knew you when you was a star
I knew when no one thought you were
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can't be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you're poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here you actin' like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were
Last time I tried to call you up
I couldn't reach you 'cause you were stuck so far up
I knew you when you were just rude
I knew I loved your attitude
Five minutes all that you got left
Long way down boy I wouldn't hold your breath
I knew you when you knew the time
I knew you for your bottom line
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can't be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you're poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here you actin' like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were
Now you got a lot of gall
Tell you frankly I'm appalled
I know you know better where you going on that ladder
Got all the girls runnin' they with you
All of your lackeys they're thirsty and you are too
Your enemies they tell you it's all fine (all fine)
I tell you better watch it walkin' a thin line (a thin line)
Ask if I used to know you I don't know (I don't know)
'Cause these days it's like it's just like I never seen your face before (before)
You cannot be who I thought you were

No, you can't be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you're poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here you actin' like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
Who I thought you were

The Edge of Seventeen :)
Quantico brought me here
bilo adamsn
cool music...optimism and hapiness
edge of 17 =) ahahahah cool tune
this song just makes me feel like im in a coming of age movie <3
revisiting this album and holy shit..the Cars power pop/new wave vibes on this song are just so infectious. something I love about Santi's music is that her lyrics are always stimulating and always offer interesting perspectives. just wow. she's criminally underrated
The Edge Of Seventeen brought me here
Totally a vibe 🌞
Only here cause it’s in my fav movie edge of 17
Sasha Jackson ew
The fact that on every song on this album someone comments that it is their favorite song on the album is a testament to how brilliant the album is, top to bottom, every track!
holy shit more santi GOD I LOVE THIS GIRL what great music !!!!!! saw her in person , even better luv it luv it
Why is this not on radio?

love this song. at least 400 views are mine :-)
the edge of seventeen brought me here 😍😍
I love this movie .. 😍😍
I love the movie!
Discovered this tune when I was shopping at Kirkland's. I was at the check-out counter and had to pause to find it on YouTube. I love this - it's got a totally 80's vibe; very catchy and makes me just wanna get up and dance!
This is the most upbeat & melodic diss track I've ever heard.
some of the more wondrous parts of childhood & the musical backdrop thereof come speeding back when I hear her. Solfeggio
dump the frown.
Fuck I love this song
Mango store in VN got me here :)
The edge of seventeen brought me here
my ISP and internet connection sent me here
Edge of Seventeen thank you
KaleLikesWaffles yea it's a great movie😍
The Edge of Seventeen :)
The Edge Of Seventeen! Or at least a nasty chopped up 30 second version...
amazing
i love this song tote's
Who put a thumbs down ? Reveal yourself !
One person obviously wasn't who they thought they were..
Great song ! has to be on Fifa 17
Thought it was a Cindy Lauper track I'd never heard at first 😊
Quantico sent me here.
Dito 😀
the edge of seventeen sent me here
One of my favs, I can so relate
The whole album is AMAZING!
Anything she's ever written is amazing.
God damn I love this woman.
REminds me of 80's Springsteen songs somehow!! <3
+ohsolovelyy24 kinda has that "Hong Kong Garden" by Siouxsie and the Banshees sound, as well.
+Lou lovelace same!!
they def saved the best for last with this one... in love with this song.
+B Smooth I agree! I love it when Sant embraces pure pop = brilliant!
I hope this song is about Diplo. Lol
+Peter Szaraz Did something happen between them?
I don't know. But he didn't produce any songs on this album like he did for the first two. And he's become a bit of a sell out. I'm was joking mostly.
Hm, but you could be right...The lyrics does speak of a 'humble' to a 'up there' personality change
I am sooooo happy! Needed this.
I would like to c Santi and Andre 3000 do a song. dope
LocQueen U R A GENIUS!!! That would be 1 sick trac & that's the smartest thing I've ever read in a comment section
I LOVE THIS!!!
Best song from this album
Makes me imagine I'm in an American diner :)
