I Don'T Know U Tell Me
I dOn'T kNow U tEll mE
bET U cAN'T chew gum in your sleep
Y can't you wear gloves on your feet
Does your mind or stomach tell you what to eat
Do you eat dandelions cause their sweet
I dOn'T kNow U tEll mE
What really happens when you cross the street
Run the stop sign, race pass the light
In a 1967 Impala racing at a stock meet
A speeding ticket you must fight
All day long, all day night
I dOn'T kNow U tEll mE
Can caterpillars eat yellow rocks
Do ants play in the hay
And what about crazy socks
Hugging swollen ankles
And by the time I git to Phoenix
I dOn'T kNow U tEll mE
Rockets will be engaged
Mouse will be like bankers
I dOn'T kNow U tEll mE
Counting a batch of money
While bees and bears fight over honey
Does your mind or stomach tell you what to eat
Do you eat dandelions cause their sweet
I dOn'T kNow U tEll mE
What really happens when you cross the street
Run the stop sign, race pass the light
All day long, all day night
And is this a rhymed, or is it not
Cuz none of them words don't make no cents
Juz a play of words, I don't no what I meant
Do U understand can you see
I dOn'T kNow U tEll mE
