You Got Me
Last Tuesday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you've been keeping quiet, keeping quietly your thoughts away from me
And you're so sure of all the words I need to say
Step off the stage we'll talk about how you don't even know me anyway
Announce that I was wrong, I thought I did what I was told
You got me wrong, you got me wrong, I'm not ashamed of anything
My heart is how it has to be
You got me wrong, you got me wrong, and all of this misunderstanding
Let it go, it's not the rule for everyone
But you don't know me anyway, you don't even know me anyway
Can't we talk, another time away from here
But you don't know me anyway, you don't even know me anyway
There's need for you, there's need for me, don't you agree
But you don't know me anyway, you don't even know me anyway
And in the end, it's not between you and me
But you don't know me anyway, you don't even know me anyway
In "You Got Me," Last Tuesday explores the theme of how people's perceptions and assumptions can create misunderstandings in relationships. The song opens with the singer expressing frustration that someone else thinks they know how they should be or what they should say. This person is keeping their thoughts to themselves, which is causing the singer to feel anxious and uncertain about how they are being perceived. The chorus then emphasizes the point that the other person has misunderstood the singer, who is not ashamed of who they are and how they feel.
The second verse continues with the idea that this person has announced that the singer is wrong, even though they don't really know them at all. The singer then addresses the person, asking if they can talk another time away from everyone else, emphasizing that this will not change anything between them. The last line of the chorus repeats, emphasizing that the misunderstanding is not the singer's fault.
Overall, this song highlights a common issue in relationships where people make assumptions and judgments about others without really getting to know them. The singer is frustrated that this person has not tried to understand them before passing judgment, and wants to reach some level of mutual understanding.

Supposedly, you know the way that I should be
You think you understand who I am and how I should act
But you've been keeping quiet, keeping quietly your thoughts away from me
You haven't shared your thoughts and opinions with me, despite thinking you know how I should be
And you're so sure of all the words I need to say
You're convinced that you know what I should say or do in any given situation
Step off the stage we'll talk about how you don't even know me anyway
Stop trying to control me and let's have an honest conversation about how you actually don't know me at all
Announce that I was wrong, I thought I did what I was told
You assumed that I was blindly following someone else's instructions
You got me wrong, you got me wrong, I'm not ashamed of anything
You misunderstood me, but I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of who I am or what I stand for
My heart is how it has to be
I am true to myself and my heart guides me in everything I do
You got me wrong, you got me wrong, and all of this misunderstanding
You completely misinterpreted my character and actions, causing all of this confusion
Come from you not understanding me
It's your lack of understanding of me that led to this disagreement
Let it go, it's not the rule for everyone
This situation is unique and doesn't apply to everyone, so it's best to move past it
Can't we talk, another time away from here
Let's have a conversation about this another time, in a different setting
There's need for you, there's need for me, don't you agree
We both have something to offer and we can work together, if we can understand each other better
And in the end, it's not between you and me
Ultimately, this isn't just about you and me, but about our ability to connect and communicate with each other
But you don't know me anyway, you don't even know me anyway
You keep acting like you have all the answers, but in reality, you don't know me at all
