Currently on "Repeat Play" in my Head...

Since I am a music junkie, I may do this from time to time. Here is the song I currently have stuck in my brain... by one of my all time favorite artists.



"You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds


I wanna ask you;

Do you ever sit and wonder

Its so strange that we could be together

For so long and never know, never care

What goes on in the other one's head?

Things I felt but I never said

You said things that I never said

So I'll say something that I should have said long ago...


(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all.


You could have just propped me up at the table like a mannequin

Or a cardboard stand up and paint me

Any face that you wanted me to be

See, we're damned by the existential moment

When we saw the couple in a coma and

It was weakened with the cliche

But we carried on anyway

So, sure, I could just close my eyes

Yeah, sure, trace and memorize

But, can you go back once you know?


(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all.


If I'm the person that you think I am

Clueless chump you seem to think I am

So easily led astray, an errant dog

Who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash then

Why the f*@# would you want me back?

Maybe its because...

You don't know me at all.



So what I'm trying to say is

What I'm trying to tell you is

Not gonna come out like I wanna say it

Cause I only know you'll change it... (Say It!)


(You don't know me.)

You don't know me at all.
