You Don't Really Know Me
You don't really know me.
You really know next to nothing about me.
I'll take you by the hand and help you understand
You don't really know me.
I was born by a raging river
To a Mother that did deliver
Six children to no harm.
I was the seventh she held in her arms.
My Sisters taught me how to tie my shoes.
My Brothers taught me the Deep River Blues.
One told me I could write a book,
The other showed me how to bait a hook.
You don't really know me.
You really know next to nothing about me.
I'll take you by surprise and make you realize
You don't really know me.
You don't really know me.
Sometimes you learn from your mistakes.
Other times you stubbornly nurse the pain.
Either way it takes more than one mistake
To define a lifetime or trace a lifeline.
You don't really know me.
You don't really know me.
You really know next to nothing about me.
I'll take you by surprise and make you realize
It's not just all the miles in between all the goodbyes
It's what will never end and how I will defend
The freedom that I need, the love that I believe,
The feeling underneath all the lines that go between
That give you some idea of what I really feel.
You could get to know me.
You don't really know me.
You really know next to nothing about me.
I'll take you by the hand and help you understand
You don't really know me.
I was born by a raging river
To a Mother that did deliver
Six children to no harm.
I was the seventh she held in her arms.
My Sisters taught me how to tie my shoes.
My Brothers taught me the Deep River Blues.
One told me I could write a book,
The other showed me how to bait a hook.
You don't really know me.
You really know next to nothing about me.
I'll take you by surprise and make you realize
You don't really know me.
You don't really know me.
Sometimes you learn from your mistakes.
Other times you stubbornly nurse the pain.
Either way it takes more than one mistake
To define a lifetime or trace a lifeline.
You don't really know me.
You don't really know me.
You really know next to nothing about me.
I'll take you by surprise and make you realize
It's not just all the miles in between all the goodbyes
It's what will never end and how I will defend
The freedom that I need, the love that I believe,
The feeling underneath all the lines that go between
That give you some idea of what I really feel.
You could get to know me.
You don't really know me.
