Bettye LaVette - The Scene of the Crime You Dont 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 in limbo
Trying to stay sane
Between the end of the summer
And the coming 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 way

And after all these years
I think its 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 all

I closed up the curtains
Heard you confess
Baby, I knew better
But you were such a pretty mess

You took my breath away
Now I want it back
Ah, you should've killed me
You always looked so good in black

And after all these twisted roads
That we've been down together
I think its time to say goodbye

And believe me
You think I'm gonna get down and crawl
You don't know me, you don't know me at all
Ooh, ooh

After 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, not at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
