You Don’t Know Me

Lyrics

[Intro: Regina Spektor] Ahh, ohh, ah [Verse 1: Ben Folds, Ben Folds & 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 [Chorus: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, Both] You don't know me You don't know me at all You don't know me You don't know me at all [Verse 2: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, Both] 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 cliché (But) but (We) 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? [Chorus: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, Both] You don't know me You don't know me 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 You don't know me You don't know me [Bridge: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor] If I'm the person that you think I am (I) Clueless chump you seem to think I am (I) 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 Ahh, ahh You don't know me, you don't know me Ahh, ahh [Bridge: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor] So, what I'm trying to say is What (What?) I'm trying to tell you, is Not gonna come out like I wanna say it 'Cause I know you'll only change it Say it [Chorus: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, Both] You don't know me You don't know me 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 You don't know me You don't know me at all! [Outro: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor] What? Mmm, ahh Ahh ahh, ahh-ah ah Oh, ahh ahh, oh ahhh Ahh ah ah, ah Ahh, oh ahh
