Lyrics

You Don't Know Me At All

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.

I woke up this morning with an attitude

looked at the headline,

put me in a real bad mood

sitting here in limbo

trying to stay sane

between the end of the summer

and the coming of the blessed rains

and I feel dirty, all the way down

I feel dirty, baby, like this pretty town

I gave you everything on a silver tray

could have been a fool for ever,

but I'm not made that way

and after all these years,

I figure it's time to say goodbye

I'm doing you a favor,

I will not help you live a lie

and believe me

if you think I'm gonna catch you when you fall

you don't know me,

you don't know me at all

I closed up the curtains

learned to confess

baby, I knew better

but you were such a pretty mess

you took my breath away

and now I want it back

Ah, you should've killed me,

you always looked so good in black

And after all these twisted roads

that we've been down together

I think it's time to say goodbye

and believe me

if you think i'm gonna get down and

crawl

you don't know me,

you don' t know me at all

ohh, ohh

(really catchy guitar part!)

and after all these years,

I figure it's time to say goodbye

I'm doing us a favor baby

you know i cannot live a lie

and when you need me

and you think I'm gonna

be there when you call

you don't know me

you don't know me at all

you don't know me at all

Not at all

You don't know me at all

You don't know me at all...
