MP3: They Don't Know Me

Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
November 13, 2012

What inspired this song?

When I was a kid, I went through a period
where I thought my dad did not love me,
I wrongly assumed that he loved my brothers
more than me. Let’s face it. I had believed
the lion liar and as a result brought a lot of
heartache to my own life that I could have
avoided. Even though my dad never told me
he loved me until after I was married, he SHOWED
his love to me by the way he laid down his life
for me. This song was written from the
perspective of Leonolis having believed the lie
that his father did not love him. It makes me sad...

Verse
Papa doesn't know me! Doesn't understand!
Doesn't seem to see I'm becoming quite a man!
Doesn't seem to care I am here! Just does not know me!
Papa doesn't know me! Knows my brothers well!
Seems to love them more than me! Trust me, I can tell!
Papa doesn't love me! Does not even know me!

Chorus
They don't know me! If they did, surely they'd see!
They don't know me! If they did they'd let me be me!
They don't know me! If they did they would just love me!
They don't know me! Tell me I'm believing a lie!
They don't know me! Makes me want to run away, hide!
They don't know me! They think they do but they really
    just don't know me!

Verse
Papa doesn't know me! This I know is true!
Doesn't see the varied and many things I do!
Doesn't seem to notice, it's true! Just does not know me!
Papa doesn't know me! Papa doesn't care!
Doesn't seem to matter if I am even there!
Papa doesn't love me! Does not even know me!

Chorus
They don't know me! If they did, surely they'd see!
They don't know me! If they did they'd let me be me!
They don't know me! If they did they would just love me!
They don't know me! Tell me I'm believing a lie!
They don't know me! Makes me want to run away, hide!
They don't know me! They think they do but they
   really just don't know me!

Bridge
I'll find some one to love me!
I'll find some one to care!
I'll find some one to love me!
Is there find any one there?

Chorus
They don't know me! If they did, surely they'd see!
They don't know me! If they did they'd let me be me!
They don't know me! If they did they would just love me!
They don't know me! Tell me I'm believing a lie!
They don't know me! Makes me want to run away, hide!
They don't know me! They think they do but they
   really just don't know me!
