I have always loved the song I Know What I Know because it sounds so conversational, and as long as I can remember I've always adored songs like that (Your Song by Elton John and Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles are two examples).

I Know what I Know

She looked me over
And I guess she thought
I was all right
All right in a sort of a limited way
For an off-night
She said dont I know you
From the cinematographers party
I said who am i
To blow against the wind
I know what I know
Ill sing what I said
We come and we go
Thats a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

She said theres something about you
That really reminds me of money
She is the kind of a girl
Who could say things that
Weren't that funny
I said what does that mean
I really remind you of money
She said who am i
To blow against the wind

I know what I know
Ill sing what I said
We come and we go
Thats a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

She moved so easily
All I could think of was sunlight
I said aren't you the women
Who was recently given a Fulbright
She said don't I know you
From the cinematographers party
I said who am i
To blow against the wind

I know what I know
Ill sing what I said
We come and we go
Thats a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

That song is actually all about when he first met Carrie Fisher, who he was later married to.
