    LYRICS
    Now and then I think of when we were together
    Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
    Told myself that you were right for me
    But felt so lonely in your company
    But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
    You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
    Like resignation to the end
    Always the end
    So when we found that we could not make sense
    Well you said that we would still be friends
    But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened
    And that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger
    And that feels so rough
    You didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records
    And then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
    But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
    And I don't wanna live that way
    Reading into every word you say
    You said that you could let it go
    And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened
    And that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger
    And that feels so rough
    You didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records
    And then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    I used to know
    That I used to know
    Somebody...

    There's something special about listening to songs as an adult when you finally understand what they say cuz you couldn't comprehend the lyrics as a kid.

      I get a kick out of a series of videos of people in their 30s and 40s who listened to the music of the 70s and 80s as kids, but are now just taking the time to realize what they've been singing about since childhood. It cracks me up.
      My age bracket had me hearing the 70s music as it came out. Listening on old AM radio until about 75, when we first started getting FM. We had the advantage of someone always having the latest albums with the lyrics to all the songs. On rainy days, we would sit and dissect every song until we knew and understood every word. Some stuff still went over our heads. But we'd catch on quick.
      Oh what fun times those were.
      If you want a true visual, think about Eric's basement on that 70's show. That was a 100% accurate description of friends regularly hanging out at one friend's house.

      @@SotGravarg If you're referring to the early 90s rap song. I definitely took a hard pass. Rap as it became in hip hop didn't appeal to me.
      There were a lot of off label bands in my youth and young adult years we'd check out. That, Nope, taking a hard pass. Came out on quite a few random picks.
      But sometimes you find a raw gem. Going through the off-labell records, is where I discovered Deep Purple. They put out a few great tunes. Several other bands that hit briefly in the charts in the 80s, were found in those off-label bands of the 70s.

    Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
    Told myself that you were right for me
    But felt so lonely in your company
    But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember
    … You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

    … But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough
    No, you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that, though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    … Now you're just somebody that I used to know

    Lyrics
    Now and then I think of when we were together
    Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
    Told myself that you were right for me
    But felt so lonely in your company
    But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember
    You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
    Like resignation to the end, always the end
    So when we found that we could not make sense
    Well, you said that we would still be friends
    But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough
    No, you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that, though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
    But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
    And I don't wanna live that way
    Reading into every word you say
    You said that you could let it go
    And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh)
    And I don't even need your love (ooh)
    But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah)
    No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh)
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah)
    I guess that I don't need that, though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Somebody (I used to know)
    Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)
    Somebody (I used to know)
    Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)
    I used to know
    That I used to know

    How refreshing that there's an artist with musical INTEGRITY .
    No adverts on this song. And it was a choice made by Gotye. Personally I think that's amazing as is the song itself.
    Some might question whether they could turn down the ad revenue on what is currently a video played 2.2 BILLION times and I'm sure there are many of us who couldn't.
    However , as a person who believes adverts are pure evil and waste our lives and attention and that the desire for rewards sways peoples behaviour and sometimes skews their moral compass I can only commend Gotye and if you're reading this Gotye , you're my bloody hero mate. Don't change. (Unless of course health gets in the way and you need the money! Then damn put some ads in , that we can forgive hehe!)
    No but seriously , well done mate. I only hope more artists are like you in the future. Art for arts sake. How utterly refreshing.
