Lyrics

You Don't Know Me
by Koreen Perry


Starting out a new life
We move into our home
Goin' it on our own
Divorce was a sacrifice

And I'm starin' out the window
The neighbours lookin' on
Who's that single parent?
Poor girl, she looks in limbo...


Chorus:
But I don't need you to judge me
You don't know me
I will survive all by myself
Why don't you keep thinkin' of me
You don't know me
Just keep your verdict to yourself
Oh, you don't know me...
No, you don't know me...

They don't know what it's like
to be free to make decisions
All that I envision,
it's mine - it's our own life

Oh, they think it must be lonely
at times I know it's true
It's hard enough to do
But at least I'm not phony


Chorus

And I can't think of why
they keep me feelin' so sheltered inside
I'm the same as them, I know...
with my family here in tow...
Oh... they don't know me
No, they don't know me

Chorus

You don't know me...
No, you don't know me...
