You Don't Know Me
OFENBACH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me to the place I used to run
Remember the house where I was born
But, baby, you don't know me
But, baby, you don't know

I'll show you all the stars I used to hide
No one never seemed to realize
But, baby, you will know me
But, baby, you will know

But, baby, you don't know
But, baby, you don't know

But, baby, you don't know
But, baby, you don't know

Take me to the place I used to run
Remember the house where I was born
But, baby, you don't know me
But, baby, you don't know

I'll show you all the stars I used to hide
No one never seemed to realize
But, baby, you will know me
But, baby, you will know

But, baby, you don't know
But, baby, you don't know

But, baby, you don't know
But, baby, you don't know





But, baby, you don't know

Overall Meaning

OFENBACH's "You Don't Know Me" is a song about feeling unknown, despite being surrounded by familiar places and memories. The lyrics express a desire to be truly understood and seen for who they are. The lines "Take me to the place I used to run, remember the house where I was born" paint a rich picture of nostalgia for a childhood home and the feelings of comfort and familiarity it brings. However, the repetition of "But, baby, you don't know me" throughout the song emphasizes the distance between the singer and the person they are addressing.


The lines "I'll show you all the stars I used to hide, no one never seemed to realize" suggest that there are parts of the singer's personality or past that they have kept hidden, perhaps out of fear of judgment or rejection. They long for someone to see past the surface level and truly understand them. The repetition of the phrases "But, baby, you will know me" and "But, baby, you don't know" create a powerful contrast between the singer's hope and their frustration.


Overall, the song "You Don't Know Me" is a relatable expression of the human desire to be recognized and understood. It captures the feeling of nostalgia for familiar places and memories, while also speaking to the loneliness that can come from feeling unknown and unseen.
