Why Don't You
The Domino's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whole truth, and nothin' but the truth
So help me God
Yeah, she came in at noon
Hollerin' like a damned fool
'Bout how I never called
But you listen carefully
I tell you it wasn't me
You say you have the prints
Well, piss on all your evidence
'Cos I say I ain't wrong
So don't go judgin' me
No no, don't go judgin' me
It ain't my fault
You don't know anything
So don't go judgin' me
No no, don't go judgin' me
It ain't my fault
You don't know anything at all
Don't throw the book just yet
There's somethin' that I haven't said
So hear my case
I'm trapped inside my head
Held prisoner in a lion's den
A stranger with my face
Just take a look at me
And tell me that you see
A cold-blooded animal
So I'll tell you I was there
But hell, I'm always unaware
When the other man overtakes
So don't go judgin' me
No no, don't go judgin' me
It ain't my fault
'Cos you don't know the half
So don't go judgin' me
No no, don't go judgin' me
It ain't my fault
You don't know the other half at all
I wasn't in control
When my bullet made that hole
I'd never hurt a soul
And I'd planned to call her up
But I'd been down on my luck
Now I've shot my chance at love
What have I done?
So don't go judgin' me
No no, don't go judgin' me
It ain't my fault
'Cos you don't know the half
So don't go judgin' me
No no, don't go judgin' me
It ain't my fault
'Cos you don't know the half
So don't go judgin' me
No no, don't go judgin' me
It ain't my fault
You don't know anything at all
