You Don't Know Me

[Verse 1: Ben Folds] 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: [Refrain: Ben Folds (Regina Spektor) (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) [Verse 2: Ben Folds (Regina Spektor)] You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me anything) 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 who were the cliche 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 [Refrain] x2 [Bridge: Ben Folds (Regina Spektor)] If I'm the person that you think I am Clueless chump you seem to think I am So easily led astray An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then Why the fuck would you want me back?! Maybe it's because (You don't know me at all) (You don't know me, you don't know me) [Verse 3: Ben Folds (Regina Spektor)] 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) [Refrain] x2 [Outro: Ben Folds] What?
