Billy Jones & The Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know me (you don't know, baby you don't know)
I'm not the one to take your charity cuz life isn't fair
You don't know me (you don't know, baby you don't know)
I'm not a silly, silly girl
That you can risk around the world wit your money
(Cash, no, got it, Gucci, yes, oh)
You don't know me (you may think you know me, but you don't)
I ain't into making friends
I ain't your cuddy buddy
I dun seen Netflix and chill-ill
(You got it twisted for real)
I'm not your ordinary bad girl with the blond curly hair
You don't know me
(I'm not that chick over there, that chick over there, that thot over there)
'Cause I'm too hood for these bougie people, you can't take me nowhere
You don't know me (you don't know, baby you don't know)
I ain't into making friends
I'm not your cuddy buddy
And I ain't here to take your wins
Wins, I ain't gon' tell you again
So if you gon' speak, talk nice
Think I won't leave, think twice (yo!)
But if you wanna come true with it
Then make it do with it do with it
So if you gon' speak, talk nice
Think I won't leave, think twice (yo!)
But if you wanna come true with it (no, no)
Then make it do with it do with it
I'm not the type to sit and cry in a psychiatrist chair
You don't know me, oh
I'm not the one to take your charity 'cause life isn't fair
You don't know me, no oh no (You don't know, baby you don't know)
I'm not a silly silly girl
That you can risk around the world wit your money (she actually is rich)
And if you think you'll get a piece (boy please)
You don't know me (you may think you know about us, but you don't)
So if you gon' speak, talk nice
Think I won't leave, think twice (yo!)
But if you wanna come true with it (no, no)
Then make it do with it do with it
