Lyrics:
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
'Cause we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye
If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never never know me

My dad loved this song.... RIP Dad love you
He said “just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye..what good is a love affair when you can’t see eye to eye”? 🔥 💯
How could almost 6k clueless people not like this
Who says gingers don't have souls...cause this ginger has soul brotha.
I grew up with Simply Red forced upon me during car journeys but now, Im turning 30, willingly listen and love it, and now forcing Simply Red upon my children!
+natalie moore I liked some of their songs even as a kid, but the older I get the more I like them...
Nataly puedes escribir en español?
that's the way good music passes on. of a song can carry through generations, then that's an impressive work.
Lol same here! I'm 32 and I'm playing simply red for my 2 month old baby girl 😊👌🏽👍🏽 can't beat those classics
oh yeah! at the beginning of the 90's i used to watch video 'Fairground' on MTV quite often. Although I was young I didn't really like those years nor i didn't appreciate this song at the time but now decades later Simply Red became my lifestyle! This is the music I live with!! All the best! Moscow, Russia.
The girl i loved liked this song so much. It was her favorite. So sad, she passed away so young...
When i hear this song, I'm full of emotions and memories of her.
I suddenly have the urge to listen to this song. Dad, thanks for the music influnce.
Lord have mercy, this man got soul
Sometimes music needs to travel through the ages to find the right time to touch your soul. thanks for catching up to me.
One of the most under-rated vocalists.
I would like to share this beautiful song with my mother who passed away a year and a half ago, we were emotionally connected with each other, she was a beautiful and wise woman who deserved to live, I love you, dear mother, your beloved son
Simply red = a fine wine 🍷
I’m 41 and remember this song on the radio as a kid, damn the passion in his voice still echos in my heart today! Damn this was/is great music!
Who grew up on this? 😂🤣😂 Gotta love it!!! #oldschool
Simply red rocks who agrees.
Steve Acko, i agree
One of my favorite groups.
This is what music all about : passion and great lyrics . No naked girls, only one man with all his heart .
3 decades later and this man’s voice is still as vibrant as it was back then.
Best song ever made
54 years young all time favorite. It's all about trust. Be true be passionate be respectful be responsible be creative and love you
This is one of the best written love songs of all time. Also Mic Mucknel has one of the smoothest voices I've ever heard . A clssic that will forever live on.
This is one of those rare covers that can stand up to the original and stand on its own as well. I've always loved this version of the song.
I agree with you.
Well said...I feel the same.
Chibihalo2
Chibihalo2. what about mellow my mind. it's just perfect!
Chibihalo2 #very well said and very true.
This song will forever be on my playlist
The kind of song that makes your stomach turn for a second when it first hits ... the rush of memories and feelings ♥️
His voice is so amazing
Yep when they made him they broke the mould
How I view each version of this song.
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Face to face expressing what once was no longer is, holding back none of the pain.
Simply Red - Thinking to self pre or post admittance, the missing pieces, broken inside.
Oh those were the days when music was worth listening. To. Better times
This is good music to be listening to.
SO RIGHT ,ALL WE HAVE NOW ARE A BUNCH OF CRAP . Every time a star passes away none are replaced
Yes, the best times and the best melodies
Yes 100%
They don't make songs like this anymore
The background singers also amazing.
Classics...Bring those days back.
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist Mick Hucknall, backing vocalist Stephanie Spruill, guitarist Heitor Pereira, bassist Tony Bowers, drummer Chris Joyce, percussionist Lenny Castro, keyboardist-backing vocalist Fritz McIntyre, synthesizer programmers Erik Hanson and Larry Williams, trumpeter-keyboardist Tim Kellett, and saxophonist Ian Kirkham.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
no songs like this anymore!! what a voice
that VOICE no lip synching at his shows
Fritz McIntyre is the tenor voice playing the piano - his contribution to this song is definitely outstanding and more than noteworthy! Love the harmony of their voices ...
2019 anyone still listening?
Even when I was younger, I thought this song was sensual.
A relationship never works when there is no faith in your partner.
If she only knew life would’ve been much different miss you Kerry
Simply Red was Simply Awesome. So much power and soul in his voice. Great Song...
one of the vocal gods that doesn't get the recogition that they deserve.
Carol Saltsgaver totally agree .. still live him even now. I listened to him when I was a child and now he is still just as relevant.. to me anyway !!

ya your right
Really a great cover by Simply Red. But for me, nothing beats the original by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes.
Música de verdade toca no coração te faz viajar em pensamento. Amores perdidos, amores conquistados
Just love it...this music will never die.
Nada lo supera. La mejor época musical 80 .😍
Griselle Rodriguez
Así es!
...asi es,la mejor década!!!
Forever
Beautiful song...great rendition.
A song for the ages.
Pulls it out of your soul !
It's very rare to find a white artist that can sing with soul and Simply Red is definitely one of them. Love his songs.
in 1989 I was 11 year's old and I love this song makes me cry everytime I hear it
So much wisdom and truth, why do we not trust each other?
Un viaggio costruito con echi e contaminazioni linguistiche che trasmutano le mie emozioni, pulsioni e memorie..!
" if you don't know me by now..." ... "what good is a love affair when you can't see eye to eye?"... such strong truthful words. such an iconic voice
This soulful, sentimental and sultry song is sublime...lyrically, vocally and rhythmically.
This Gingy man was so passionate! Wow!
This is music to my ears !! Nothing like good old classic music.
💔😥 Was my wedding song 29 years ago!!
💞
This one of very, very few covers of older songs that is as good, or maybe even better, than the original.
I will always love this song! It's so passionate and romantic. It makes me feel happy and calm. Old music is my shit!
🛀
my shit to oldies but goodies
love it😄
+Lamb Forever Mine Too, I've been a drummer for a really long time, and I refuse to play music that doesn't run along the lines of, If You Don't Know Me By Now.....
snap 😊
Thank you Simply Red💓💓💓💗💗💞💖💕❤
This song sooth my pain, caress my heart and touch my soul... a pleasant sweetness ❤❤❤
This Man have Soul and he did that yes indeed. Mush respect. All way from Houston Texas.
Truly a classic song.
I love the harmonies in this song! ❤️
Still gives me chills!
Love this song... reminds me , a time of my life and marriage in Iceland, used to hear this song on the radio of my car on my way back home...
I remember the first time I heard "if you don't know me by now ", Me and my husband and our two little girls were driving around and my daughters were about three and two year old and all the sudden they got so quiet and moved around their heads with the song and radio stations in Amarillo -Texas were playing Simply Red songs all the time and before we know It my daughters were hocked to your songs. They are 27 and 26 years old now and still all of us enjoys all your music. I am 58 years now and just love, love your music . Yesterday I finished my school and graduated in Radiography and as soon as I passed my final exam I came home and for good solid two hours listened to Fair ground , something got me started and come to my aid and danced around with your songs with joy . During past 4 years that I was in school, your music, your energy and great great talent keep me up way pass midnight for study.(do you know how hard was go back to school in my age).
God blessed you with gift of great voice.
I am looking forward to come to your concert and hopefully meet you in person,
May God bless you and your family .

love it..
I wish you could see my face! I just KNEW this was an original and that this guy was black!!!! Still a beautiful soulful song.....but WOW!!!!
+Tanya Powell
The original was by a black guy...Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes....This version is a cover by Simply Red.
Tanya L Amir well the backup singer is black fwiw
oh what a voice...
Mid-Late 80's were pure gold. Such great creativty in the world of music
How catching are the lyrics. it says about what two lovers will always go through: doubts, fights, cracks, disbelieves. But the guy still sing to her and make her mind clear. that this relationship needs both of their efforts. He is trying the best to understand and trust the girl, so the girl should do the same to him too.
Céline Getaire definitely feel the same way ❤️
Beau commentaire. C'est parfait.
@Diamond Dust Merci!
+Diamond Dust Merci!

Great song and so close to Harold Melvin and the Blue notes - (original Artist)
Redone by simply red is much better though

well it aint "Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes" but I've still LIKED this tune by these guys forever...from the first time... but ol' Harold and the boys sure stirred my soul back in the early 70s !!! This song still does it for me !
+Jerry Sullivan Have you heard Stevie Nicks' "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You"? If not, do yourself a favor and listen to it :)
+Jerry Sullivan Whos Harold Melvin and the bluenotes?
ask RUclips ... :-)
I still believe that harold melvin and the bluenotes had the best version, they really sang that song from their soul!
I agree ! can't imagine ANYBODY ever doing it better.
One of the most sensual voices' of his generation. The 1st time I heard it I remember being so astonished at the sincere emotional hurt, I couldn't do anything but WATCH !!! Superb rw
This dude can SANG!!!!!
#1 in the USA! 1989 forever!
