You Don't Know Me
Kenny Pore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave you piece of mind
You said you would stay with me
Forever
One look in your eyes
And I can see through your helpless disguise
Now I believe
I believe
You really don't know me
Never gave me half a chance
From romance to romance
How can you be
So undecided
I believe
You really don't know me
It's so plain to see
Why you hide from me
Cause you really don't know me
Even though I try
I just can't deny
You don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me
You really don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me)
I thought we'd stand the test of time
Thought I was yours when you were mine
Now I believe
You really don't know me
Now you keep lookin' but never find
More faithful love in a heart like mine
I believe
You really don't know me
I believe
You really don't know me
Like the seasons you'd come and go
Tell me what keeps you hangin' on
I believe
You really don't know me
I believe
You really don't know me
It's so plain to see
Why you hide from me
Cause you really don't know me
Even though I try
I just can't deny
You don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me
You really don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me at all)
You really don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me)
(You don't know me at all)
You really don't know me at all...

Told all your friends
You went around telling everyone that I gave you peace of mind
I gave you piece of mind
I tried to make you content and satisfied
You said you would stay with me
Forever
You promised that we would be together for a lifetime
One look in your eyes
And I can see through your helpless disguise
When I gaze into your eyes, I can see beyond the facade you've put up
Now I believe
You really don't know me
Now I know that you don't truly understand who I am
Never gave me half a chance
From romance to romance
You never gave me the opportunity to prove my worth from one romance to the next
How can you be
So undecided
You're unable to make up your mind
It's so plain to see
Why you hide from me
It's evident that you're trying to conceal things from me
Cause you really don't know me
Because you lack a true understanding of who I am
Even though I try
I just can't deny
Despite my efforts, I can't ignore the truth
You don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me
You really don't know me at all
You don't truly know who I am, not even a little bit
I thought we'd stand the test of time
Thought I was yours when you were mine
I believed we would last forever, and that you were mine
Now you keep lookin' but never find
More faithful love in a heart like mine
You continue to search for a love that is as loyal as mine, but you will never find it
Like the seasons you'd come and go
Tell me what keeps you hangin' on
You came and went like the changing of the seasons, what is it that keeps you clinging on?
You really don't know me at all
You have no idea about who I am
