What You Don't Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Smoke-filled room, champagne on ice
You look good 'till I look twice
Cherry-red lips, and hips that swing
You make a blind boy see, a mute man speak
Momma done told me long ago,
"Don't assume what you don't know"
A beggar might sell what a rich man stole
"Don't assume what you don't know"
All you given to me, is what you want to be
Oh, oh, oh
Think you're taking me home, think you're buying the show
Oh, oh, oh
"Don't assume what you don't know"
Sittin' there smug like you figured it out
Your momma don't know what I'm about
See, you can't buy me with another gin
It takes more than a drink to let you in
Momma done told me long ago,
"Don't assume what you don't know"
Beggar might sell what a rich man stole
"Don't assume what you don't know"
All you givin to me is what you want me to be
Oh, oh, oh
Think I'm taking you home, think I'm buying the show
Oh, oh, oh
"Don't assume what you don't know"
