I KNOW MY PLACE

I know my place
I know my place
I know my place
You've put me there so many times
Don't worry when I get around you
Don't be afraid of me
I won't bother you, darling
You'll find me harmless as can be
'Cause I know my place...
So if you meet me in a crowd sometime
Don't be afraid of me
Though you have brain-washed me, darling
My heart still loves you, don't you see
But I know my place...

Note: on the recording of The Browns another last verse is sung:
So if you see me in a crowd sometime
I won't embarrass you
I won't speak or say hello
Though my heart still tells me to
