You Don't Know Me Lyrics
Tinashe
[Reversed:]
What can I do? What can I do?
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
Underneath the sapphire sky
Your perception of me is so untrue
What can I do? What can I do?
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
Underneath the sapphire sky
Your perception of me is so untrue
What can I do? What can I do?
You don't know me like you think you do, no
Yeah, not the rhythm that you wanna force me into
That's for sure
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
Underneath the sapphire sky
Your perception of me is so untrue
What can I do?
And now I found myself at the edge of my sanity
Lyin', I hold myself back, look at it the other way
Please, don't come 'round here talkin' 'bout what's best for me
When I told you just the other day, just the other day, baby
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
[Reversed:]
What can I do?
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
Underneath the sapphire sky
Your perception of me is so untrue
What can I do? What can I do?
Head hung low just like you owe me an apology
Something tells me you ain't gonna say no
How can you? Tonight you really won the lottery
Afterparty with the lights turned low
Everybody wants to live by the philosophy
This is something, this is something
And you can blame it on society
But grew up in a generation of variety
And now I found myself at the edge of my sanity
Lyin', I hold myself back, look at it the other way
Please, don't come 'round here talkin' 'bout what's best for me
When I told you just the other day, just the other day
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
What can I do? What can I do?
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
Underneath the sapphire sky
Your perception of me is so untrue
What can I do? What can I do?
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
Underneath the sapphire sky
Your perception of me is so untrue
What can I do? What can I do?
You don't know me like you think you do, no
Yeah, not the rhythm that you wanna force me into
That's for sure
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
Underneath the sapphire sky
Your perception of me is so untrue
What can I do?
And now I found myself at the edge of my sanity
Lyin', I hold myself back, look at it the other way
Please, don't come 'round here talkin' 'bout what's best for me
When I told you just the other day, just the other day, baby
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
You don't know me like you think you do
