You Don't Know Me [They Don't Understand] lyrics

Center of attention once again

They don't understand

They don't understand

Then they try to tell me who I am

But they don't understand

They don't understand

If you want a perfect picture to believe in

Then you can't be looking for me then

I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life so truth be told

(I see you thinking but there's just one thing clear

And you think you know but you don't have no idea

Think you know me but there's more to see my love)

The same arguments time and time again

And you watched them all happen

But they don't understand

Thinkin' you're the reason that it ends

And he won't be back again

But they don't understand, no

If you want a perfect picture to believe in

Then you can't be looking for me then

I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life so truth be told

You don't know me

The girl you see in photographs is only

A part of the one I am, don't judge me

Cause that's not reality and all I can be

Is in love with who I'm becoming

(Think you know me but there's more to see my love

And you think you know but you don't have no idea)

I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life so truth be told

You don't know me

I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life so truth be told

(I see you thinking but there's just one thing clear

And you think you know but you don't have no idea

Think you know me but there's more to see my love)
