I knew on that first night, sippin’ that cherry Sprite
Half of the things that you said were a lie
I still thought you were cute, so I listened to you
Tried to convince me that man never walked on the moon
A little bit condescending
But I’m a hypocrite for pretending
That I liked you
You’re such a know it all
Whatever game you think you’re playin’, I got the ball
You think that just because I’m blonde and I’m nice that I wouldn’t think twice
You’re wrong, I’ve known it all along
No, you don’t know it all, all
No, you don’t know it all, all
Shouldn’t be playin’ dumb, but it’s a little fun
Hangin’ on every word rollin’ off your tongue
Talkin’ ’bout politics, thinkin’ I’m into it
Well, bless your heart, at least it’s good that you have confidence
You’re such a know it all
Whatever game you think you’re playin’, I got the ball
You think that just because I’m blonde and I’m nice that I wouldn’t think twice
You’re wrong, I’ve known it all along
No, you don’t know it all, all
No, you don’t know it all, all
I know you mean well
It’s sad you can’t tell
That you’re actin’ like I never even learned how to spell
D-O-N-E, you and me are done
Yeah, we’re done
You’re such a know it all
Whatever game you think you’re playin’, I got the ball
You think that just because I’m blonde and I’m nice that I wouldn’t think twice
You’re wrong, I’ve known it all along
No, you don’t know it all, all
No, you don’t know it all, all
You’re such a know it all, all
Da-da-da-da-da
Unpacking Confidence and Perception
“Know It All” by Avery Anna dives into the complexities of youthful relationships and the subtle power dynamics that arise from assumptions. The song sets the stage with a witty recount of an early encounter, where the narrator observes her companion’s arrogance and tendency to dominate conversations—whether by dismissing facts or assuming her naivety. Avery Anna cleverly uses playful sarcasm and sharp wit to highlight how underestimating someone based on appearances, like being “blonde and nice,” can backfire. The track’s chorus flips the script, asserting the narrator’s awareness and agency while exposing the superficial confidence of the “know it all.” Ultimately, the song celebrates self-assuredness and the importance of seeing through façades, delivering its message with a catchy, memorable hook.
