Lyrics
YOU DON?T KNOW ME, I;M ALWAYS CHANGING
YOU DON?T SEE THE THINGS I SEE ABOUT THE THINGS I DO
YOU DON?T KNOW ME, I?M ALWAYS CHANGING
YOU DON?T FEEL THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT THE WAY IDO
YOU WANT TO TRY MY LOVE, BUT I?VE PLAYED THAT GAME BEFORE
MAYBE I?LL BE BACK SOMEDAY, I?M ON THE RUN, I?M A SOUTHERN SON
NOT WHAT YOU SAY , NOT WHAT YOU DO
NOT WHAT YOU DO, NOT WHAT YOU SAY
NOT THAT I?M FALLING DOWN TO PIECES OF CLAY
BUT DIDN?T YOU KNOW, MY HEART IS OLD
I?M ON THE RUN, I?M THE LONELY ONE
YOU DON?T KNOW ME, I?M ALWAYS CHANGING
YOU DON?T SEE THE THINGS I SEE ABOUT THE THINGS I DO
YOU DON?T KNOW ME, I?M ALWAYS CHANGING
YOU?RE GOING TO GET HURT IF YOU?RE COUNTING ON ME TO MAKE
YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
YOU WANT TO TRY MY LOVE
BUT I?VE PLAYED THAT GAME BEFORE
MAYBE I?LL BE BACK SOMEDAY
I?M ON THE RUN LIKE A SOUTHERN SON
NOT WHAT YOU SAY, NOT WHAT YOU DO
CONSIDER THE RAMBLING OF MY HEART AND SOUL ARE TRUE
NOT WHAT YOU SAY, NOT WHAT YOU DO
NOT WHAT YOU SAY, NOT THAT I?M FALLING DOWN TO PIECES OF CLAY
BUT, DIDN?T YOU KNOW, MY HEART IS OLD
TELL MY PEOPLE I?LL BE COMING HOME
