You Don'T Know Me

Chorus 1

You don't know me, although you think you do
You don't know me, but this love was meant for you
You don't know me, or you would take my hand
You don't know me, ain't no more to understand

Verse

I've waited just about long enough
I'm tired of listen'n to the same old stuff
We're out of time, this ain't no bluff
This road's to rough

Chorus 2

You don't know me, I wish we could have more time
You don't know me, oh how I've suffered from this crime
You don't know me, or how high this love might climb
You don't know me, my heart lies broken in this rhyme

I really like this. It makes me wish I had made an effort to do a song after all now that I see you did yours short . I like it short. Many of the best songs have been with not so many lines. Congrats on a great win, Charlie.

Oh, charlie, there is a song like from the 60's that uses the line "you don't own me", and as I was reading this, I was wanting to sing it to that other song!! Do you know the one I am talking about? I looked it up and it was sung by Leslie Gore. then over at Youtube, I saw the newer song You Don't Know Me! There are several in fact with that title, and now we have YOUR version as well! Gosh, I need to finally hear this End of the Line song to see how it relates to yours!
