I Don't Know

Well your money’s better spent
hangin’ round them other fellers
than to hang around the likes of me
But if you count me as your pony
I’ll be your little dony
Be as true to you
as you are to me
You know they say I hold my cards close to my chest
but I’ll show you mine if you show me yours
Cause you’re the eye in my queen
You’re the ace in my sleeve
I couldn’t possibly ask for anything more

In these past few years
I hit the pavement and the beers
and it’s taken its toll on me
But you seem to keep me on track
Always scratching my back
safe and warm from the storms at sea
I could be lying in bed and it’s all in my head
about to wake up from this sweet memory
But if you happen to be real
and you can touch and you can feel
I’d trade the world for you to be with me

Lookin’ up at a girl
Lookin’ down at the world
I don’t know I don’t know
what she sees in me


I always thought it sounded good
to have a cabin in the woods
with only me to hear my thoughts and prayers
I’d write a novel through and through
maybe an opera or two
and perform it for the fox and the bears
I’d get the love that I need from the birds and the bee’s
and the forest would be where I roam
What used to be a tiger in the reeds
Cause you cast your spell on me
has been reduced to a kitten at home

Lookin’ up at a girl
Lookin’ down at the world
I don’t know I don’t know
what she sees in me

You say you’d never trust a man
who doesn’t know how to dance
but you’ve hung around enough with me
You’ve asked me all the thirty questions
to get to know a person
So tell me know what do you see
Are you looking for the secret
in the jungle of my mind
that you can’t wait for me to show
Because I promise my last words
as I’m dying in bed won’t be
“honey there’s something you should know”


Lookin’ up at a girl
Lookin’ down at the world
I don’t know I don’t know
what she sees in me
I don’t know I don’t know
what she sees in me
I don’t know I don’t know
what she see’s in me
