lyrics

Who can command the channels of the heart?
Who can see through its murky depths
To the bottom where the rocks make their nest?

And who can grab the reins of unbridled ardor?
Who can steer her to her be---eh-ed?
And who can give her body re---eh-est?

It takes one to know one...
And no one knows anyone!

It takes one to know one...
And no one knows anyone!

Who can command the channels of the heart?
Who can navigate its terrible ways,
Drawn down dark and narrowed straits?

And who can unlock its secrets from their chambers?
Who can climb the unassailable wall... where
All who try are condemned to fall?

It takes one to know one...
And no one knows anyone!

It takes one to know one...
And no one knows anyone!

It takes one to know one...
And no one knows anyone!

It takes one to know one...
And no one knows anyone!
