You Don't Really Know Me

Jessie J · Sweet Talker [2014]

The girl who always says yes

Wants to scream no

Takes over everyone's stress

And ignores her own

The life and soul of the party

But loves to stay home

She say's she's not broken-hearted

But she cries on her own



Playing pretend

I shouldn't hide it

It isn't right

Being a liar

I'm crossing the line

Dancing with fire,

When I'm not fine

Should I deny it?



Cause I'm going crazy when I'm not okay,

I keep praying that the cracks don't show my pain,

Cause even when I'm falling, I say my life is like a dream,

But I'm fighting through a nightmare,

Cause I'm not really being me,

See you don't really know me



The girl who starts all the jokes

Just make her laugh,

Preaches the do's and the don't's

But loves to be bad,

Smiles when they guess who she's loving

What they say makes her mad

She says I'm fine I need nothing,

But she hopes for your hand



Playing pretend

I shouldn't hide it

It isn't right

Being a liar

I'm crossing the line

Dancing with fire,

When I'm not fine

Should I deny it?



Cause I'm going crazy when I'm not okay,

I keep praying that the cracks don't show my pain,

Cause even when I'm falling, I say my life is like a dream,

But I'm fighting through a nightmare,

Cause I'm not really being me,

See you don't really know me, baby, oh no



You don't really know me, no no,

You don't really know me,

How can you know me?

You don't really know me,

You don't really know me,



Cause I'm going crazy when I'm not okay,

I keep praying that the cracks don't show my pain,

Cause even when I'm falling, I say my life is like a dream,

But I'm fighting through a nightmare,

Cause I'm not really being me,

See you don't really know me, baby, oh no,



How can you know me? me, me, me, ooh, mhhm

You're gunna get to know me
