I Don't Know What You're Thinking
Christopher Jak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what you said,
but I hope it was somethin' nice.
And I don't know what you're thinking,
do you think, does it all jus come so natural
or wish you could tell me,
like you do, some other time.
I wish I could hear something,
anything more than just those sad groans and whines.
I don't know what you're thinking,
but I think that I like it.

Like when you smile,
'least I think thats a smile.
Hurts you cry, theres no tear,
just those sad sad eyes.
And it don't seem fair,
that you know it, and I don't.
But you don't seem to care so,
I can't take it.
Hell I can't even stand to take a little more.
And I don't know what you're thinking,
but I think that I like it.

Wake me up to kiss me,
goodmornin' in the middle of the night.
Run for cover like a scared little child,
Thunder lightenin' strikes.
Some think you're crazy and I'm no better but,
we're gonna be alright.
'Cause I don't know what you're thinking.
but I think that I like it.

I don't know what you're thinking,
but I think that I like it.

Take your time with
I have got no time at all.
You will always find the hardest way, of them all.
Some think you're crazy and I'm no better but,
we're gonna prove them wrong.
'Cause I don't know what you're thinking,
but I think that I like it.





I don't know what you're thinking,
but I think that I like it.
