Tell Me Something I Don't Know
Selena Gomez Lyrics

Everybody tells me, That it's so hard to make it, Yet so hard to break it, And there's no way to fake it,
People are warning me that success is difficult to achieve and maintain, and I cannot pretend to have it.

Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling, I shouldn't believe in, The dreams that I'm dreaming,
People criticize my aspirations and devalue my emotions.

I hear it everyday, I hear it all the time, I'm never gonna amount to much, But they're never gonna change my mind.
People constantly put me down and doubt my capabilities, but I am determined to prove them wrong.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, Something I don't know, Something I don't know, Something I don't know,
I am asking for new knowledge and fresh perspectives on life.

How many inches in a mile, What it takes to make you smile. Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.
I want to learn trivial facts and the key to making someone happy, while also asking not to be patronized.

Everybody tells me I don't know what I'm doing, This life I'm pursuing, The odds of me losing.
People doubt my life choices and predict that I will fail.

Everybody tells me that it's one in a million, More like one in a billion, Or one in a zillion.
People believe that my goals are extremely unlikely or impossible to achieve.

Are you ready for it? Yeah I'm ready for it. Really ready for it? Yeah I'm ready for it. Let's get ready for this.
I am confirming my readiness to face the challenges ahead.

I'm on my way, I know I'm gonna get there someday, It doesn't help when you say, It won't be easy.
I am confident in my journey towards success, but it is discouraging when people remind me of the difficulty.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, Something I don't know, Something I don't know, Something I don't know,
I reiterate my desire to gain new insights and knowledge.

How many inches in a mile, What it takes to make you smile, Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.
I am still seeking specific information while asking not to be condescended to.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, Something I don't know, Something I don't know, Something I don't know,
I am persistently requesting for novel and valuable information.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, Something I don't know, Something I don't know, Something I don't know,
I am keen on enhancing my knowledge and experiences by learning from others.

How many inches in a mile, What it takes to make you smile, Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.
I still want answers to my previous inquiries while reminding others to respect me.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, Something I don't know, Something I don't know, Something I don't know,
My thirst for knowledge remains insatiable even after several repetitions of my request.
