You Don't Know Me (Explicit Album Version)

Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me (feat. Regina Spektor)

I want to 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 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 anything)

Any face that you wanted me to be

See, 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 can 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 (Ahh....)

Clueless chump you seem to think I am (Ahh...)

So easily led astray, an arid dog who occasionally escapes

and needs a shorter leash then

Why the **** would you want me back?

Maybe it's because...

You don't know me at all

(Ahhhh, ahh...)

You don't know me, you don't know me

(Ahhhh, ahh...)

So what I'm trying to say is

What I'm trying to tell you is not going to come out like I want to 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?
