Ooh
She like the low, she like the high (Mm)
I've seen it all too many times
Geronimo, she's droppin' by (Mm)
Fork in the road, this fate of mine
I can't act like I don't keep dressin' for the storm, then blame the sky
Oh, I know I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't
Wherever I end up, it's never no surprise
Shoulda told you I could see this comin'
Like I'm lookin' right into a crystal ball
When I fall in love, it's with misfortune
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Give you everythin' you say you wanted
See the future like it's written on the wall (Ooh)
You're thе only thing that's missin' from it
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Mr. Know It All (Mr.)
Pullin' dominoes from a coffee can (Mm-mm)
Set 'em up and watch 'еm fall, do it over again
Like a tennis ball through a ceiling fan
Bet you'll never end up fallin' back in my hands, oh
Shoulda told you I could see this comin' (See this comin')
Like I'm lookin' right into a crystal ball (Ooh)
When I fall in love, it's with misfortune
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All (Oh, oh)
Give you everythin' you say you wanted (Say you wanted, yeah)
See the future like it's written on the wall
You're the only thing that's missin' from it (Missin' from it)
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
I don't wanna stay (Stay), I don't wanna run
I already know what this'll become
I'm watchin' you dance and fallin' in love
I'm gettin' way too close to the sun
Shoulda told you I could see this comin' (Comin')
Like I'm lookin' right into a crystal ball
When I fall in love, it's with misfortune (Oh, it's with misfortune)
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Give you everythin' you say you wanted (You say you wanted, yeah)
See the future like it's written on the wall (Written on the wall)
You're the only thing that's missin' from it (Missin' from it)
Oh, I wish I wasn't Mr. Know It All
Mr. Know It All (Mr. Know It All)
(Mr., Mr. Know It All; Mr.)
Mr. Know It All
Makna lagu Mr. Know It All
Lagu ini menggambarkan seseorang yang merasa sudah bisa menebak bagaimana kisah cintanya akan berakhir bahkan sebelum hubungan itu benar-benar dimulai. Ia mengibaratkan dirinya seperti memiliki "bola kristal" yang dapat melihat masa depan, sehingga setiap kali jatuh cinta, ia selalu bersiap menghadapi kekecewaan. Lirik "When I fall in love, it's with misfortune" menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman buruk di masa lalu membuatnya sulit percaya bahwa cinta bisa berakhir bahagia. Ia sadar bahwa terkadang dirinya sendiri ikut berkontribusi terhadap kegagalan hubungan, seperti tergambar dalam lirik "I can't act like I don't keep dressing for the storm, then blame the sky"—ia tidak bisa terus bersiap menghadapi badai lalu menyalahkan keadaan ketika badai itu benar-benar datang.
Di sisi lain, lagu ini juga mengungkap penyesalan karena terlalu pesimis dan terlalu yakin bahwa hubungan tersebut akan gagal. Julukan "Mr. Know It All" bukan berarti ia benar-benar tahu segalanya, melainkan sindiran terhadap dirinya sendiri yang selalu merasa bisa memprediksi akhir dari sebuah hubungan. Akibatnya, ia kesulitan menikmati cinta yang sedang dijalani dan justru terjebak dalam ketakutan akan kehilangan. Secara keseluruhan, lagu ini menyampaikan pesan bahwa trauma dan ekspektasi negatif dapat membuat seseorang tanpa sadar menciptakan akhir yang memang ia takuti, sehingga terkadang yang perlu diubah bukan masa depan, melainkan cara memandang dan menjalani sebuah hubungan.
