How I Know You
 
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice

I grew up in your hometown
At least I began to grow
I hadn't got to my first shave
Before the body blow
Egyptians in the courtyard
My family in chains
You witnessed our abduction
Which probably explains
How I know you

Before that fateful morning
My family enjoyed
A privileged existence
For my father was employed
As advisor to the king no less
Which surely rings a bell
For as you are his daughter
You probably can tell
How I know you
How I know you

But enough of reminiscence
And such happy memories
The reason why I know you
Is really none of these
You cannot hide your royalty
Although you hide your face
I'd know you were my princess
In any time and place
Yes I know you
Yes I know you
How I know you
