I don't even know myself
par The Who

There´s nothing in the way I walk that could tell you where I´m going,
There´s nothing in the words I speak that can betray anything I´m knowing,
Don´t think about the way I dress, you can fit me on a labelled shelf,
Don´t pretend that you know me ´cause I don´t even know myself,
Ooh I don´t know myself.
I don´t mind if you try once in a while,
I don´t mind if I cry once in a while,
The doors aren´t shut as tight as they might seem,
I´m just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
Don´t listen to the words I say, weighing up if I´m enlightened,
Don´t shiver as you pass me by, ´cause mister I´m the one who´s frightened,
The police just came and left, they wanted me and no one else,
Don´t pretend that you know me ´cause I don´t even know myself,
I said I don´t know myself.
I don´t mind if you try once in a while,
I don´t mind if I cry once in a while,
The doors aren´t shut as tight as they might seem,
I´m just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
Do you remember me, I don´t remember you,
Do you still love me, you know I think you do,
I have been gone, and some prison warden knows my scream,
I´m just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
There´s only five who know my real name,
And my mother don´t believe they know it,
What she called me is the way I´m staying,
And no one´ll ever know it,
Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves,
Don´t pretend that you know me ´cause I don´t even know myself,
I said I don´t know myself.
I don´t mind if you try once in a while,
And I don´t mind if I cry once in a while.
There´s nothing in the words I speak that can betray anything I´m knowing,
Don´t think about the way I dress, you can fit me on a labelled shelf,
Don´t pretend that you know me ´cause I don´t even know myself,
Ooh I don´t know myself.
I don´t mind if you try once in a while,
I don´t mind if I cry once in a while,
The doors aren´t shut as tight as they might seem,
I´m just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
Don´t listen to the words I say, weighing up if I´m enlightened,
Don´t shiver as you pass me by, ´cause mister I´m the one who´s frightened,
The police just came and left, they wanted me and no one else,
Don´t pretend that you know me ´cause I don´t even know myself,
I said I don´t know myself.
I don´t mind if you try once in a while,
I don´t mind if I cry once in a while,
The doors aren´t shut as tight as they might seem,
I´m just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
Do you remember me, I don´t remember you,
Do you still love me, you know I think you do,
I have been gone, and some prison warden knows my scream,
I´m just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
There´s only five who know my real name,
And my mother don´t believe they know it,
What she called me is the way I´m staying,
And no one´ll ever know it,
Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves,
Don´t pretend that you know me ´cause I don´t even know myself,
I said I don´t know myself.
I don´t mind if you try once in a while,
And I don´t mind if I cry once in a while.
