You Don't know Me- Ben Folds and Regina Spektor
I wanna ask you -
Do you ever sit and wonder,
It's so strange
That we could be together for
So long, and never know, never care
What goes on in the other one's head?
Things I've felt but I've never said
You said things that I never said
So I'll say something that I should have said long ago:
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all (at all)
You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me)
Any face that you wanted me
To be seen.
We're Damned by the existential moment where
We saw the couple in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway.
So, sure, I could just close my eyes.
Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,
But can you go back once you know
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all (at all)
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all
(You don't know me) You don't know me
If I'm the person that you think I am (Ah ah ahh)
Clueless chump you seem to think I am (Ah ah ahhh)
So easily led astray, An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then
Why the f**k would you want me back?!
Maybe it's because
(You don't know me at all) Ahhh ah Ahhh ah
(You don't know me, you don't know me.) Ahhh ah Ahhh ah
So, what I'm trying to say is What (What?)
I'm trying to tell you It's not gonna come out like
I wanna say it cause I know you'll only change it. (Say it.)
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all (at all)
(You don't know me) You don't know me at all (You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all) What?
