Lyrics Bettye Lavette

Bettye Lavette

You Don't Know Me at All

I woke up this morning

With an attitude

Looked at the headlines

Put me in a real bad mood

Sitting here in limbo

Trying to stay sane

Between the end of the summer

And the coming of the blessed rains

And I feel dirty

All the way down

I feel dirty, baby

Like this dirty town

I gave you everything

On a silver tray

Could have been a fool forever

But I'm not made that way

And after all these years

I think its time to say goodbye

I'm doing you a favor

I will not help you live a lie

And believe me

If you think I'm gonna catch you when you fall

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

I closed up the curtains

Heard you confess

Baby, I knew better

But you were such a pretty mess

You took my breath away

Now I want it back

Ah, you should've killed me

You always looked so good in black

And after all these twisted roads

That we've been down together

I think its time to say goodbye

And believe me

You think I'm gonna get down and crawl

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

Ooh, ooh

After all these years

I think it's time to say goodbye

I'm doing us a favor baby

You know I cannot live a lie

And when you need me

And you think I'm gonna be there when you call

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

You don't know me at all, not at all

You don't know me at all

You don't know me at all
