You Don't Know
Christopher Norman & The Reverb Junkie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the preety girls go out on saturday night, wooh
Friying up the hair
What to wear
Making sure they look right
They look just right
All the preety boys line up to take them out
For a spin trying not to break them
All the preety girls go out on saturday night
Aaaii-mala-alla-McDaa (IDK)
I stand out
In the crowd
I don't blend in
So im not trying
How do I
Change your mind
Yea, it's true
Uuuuhhuuu
I stand out
In the crowd
I don't blend in
So im not trying
How do I
Change your mind
Yea, it's true
So don't tell me
You dont know this (or notice*)
You dont know this
You dont know shi*
You dont know shi*
Now the preety boys and the girls get to for a ride
Oooohh
Cruzing from the bar after dark, and
Everything is fine
Yea it's just fine
Going to the hall
Reapply the makeup
Put some more cologne, on
Itz time to shake things up
The preety boys and the girls get to for a ride
Aaaii-mala-alla-McDaa (IDK)
I stand out
In the crowd
I don't blend in
So im not trying
How do I
Change your mind
It's true
Oooohh
I stand out
In the crowd
I don't blend in
So im not trying
How do I
Change your mind
Yea, it's true
So don't tell me
You dont know this
You dont know this
You dont know shi*
You dont know shi*
Don't tell me
You dont know this
You dont know this
You dont know shi*




You dont know shi*

Overall Meaning

The song "You Don't Know" by Christopher Norman & The Reverb Junkie is a commentary on the desire to fit in with the "pretty" crowd and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The lyrics describe how the "pretty girls" and "pretty boys" go out on Saturday night, trying to look perfect and get noticed by each other. However, the singer of the song stands out from the crowd and doesn't try to blend in. They wonder how they can change people's minds and be accepted for who they are.


The chorus of the song is an assertion that those who conform to the social norm don't truly understand what it's like to stand out and be different. The repeated refrain "you don't know this" is a dismissal of their lack of understanding. The song implies that conformity is not necessarily a positive thing, and that true individuality is something to be celebrated.


Overall, the song is a celebration of individuality and a critique of the pressure to conform. It encourages listeners to embrace their unique qualities and not be afraid to stand out from the crowd.
