You Don't Know Me At All Lyrics


I woke up this morning
With an attitude
Looked at the headlines
Put me in a real bad mood
Sitting here remember
Tryin' to stay sane
Between the end of the summer
And the comin' of the blessed rains
And I feel dirty
All the way down
I feel dirty, baby
Like this dirty town
I gave you everything
On a silver tray
Could have been a fool forever
But I'm not made that wayAnd after all these years
I think it's time to say goodbye
I'm doing you a favor

I will not help you live a lie
And believe me
If you think I'm gonna catch you when you fall
You don't know me
You don't know me at allI closed up the curtains
Learned to confess
Baby I knew better
But you were such a pretty mess
You took my breath away
And now I want it back
Aah, you should have killed me
'Cause you always looked so good in blackAnd after all these twisted roads
That we've been down together
I think it's time to say goodbye
And believe me
If you think I'm gonna get down and crawl
You don't know me
You don't know me at allOoooooAfter all these years
I think it's time to say goodbye
I'm doing us a favor, baby
You know I cannot live a lie
And when you need me,
And you think I'm gonna be there when you call
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all, la de da
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
