I Don't Know
O'Jays · Other Songs - O'Jays
Ooh, oh, listen
Girl, you have had played on my mind before
Yes, you did
But this time, I can't turn my back on you, no
No, no, no
Your mean evil ways, the games that you play
The things that yo do and say
My love, you reject, you show no respect
I'm tired of you treating me like that, oh
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure, you're the girl I used to know
Uh, uh, oh baby, baby, baby
Now I know, I know, you remember
Last night you went a little bit too far
Yes, you did
I saw you outside with your friend in that car
You know that ain't right, girl
It feel it don't change not one single thing
It didn't work on woman or man
I'm tired and fed up, no love and no trust
I wonder what happened to us, no
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
Baby, you're acting strange
But that won't change one thing
It feel it don't change not one single thing
If it was a woman or man
I'm tired and fed up, no love, no trust
I wonder what happened to us, oh babe
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
Girl, you have had played on my mind before
Yes, you did
But this time, I can't turn my back on you, no
No, no, no
Your mean evil ways, the games that you play
The things that yo do and say
My love, you reject, you show no respect
I'm tired of you treating me like that, oh
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure, you're the girl I used to know
Uh, uh, oh baby, baby, baby
Now I know, I know, you remember
Last night you went a little bit too far
Yes, you did
I saw you outside with your friend in that car
You know that ain't right, girl
It feel it don't change not one single thing
It didn't work on woman or man
I'm tired and fed up, no love and no trust
I wonder what happened to us, no
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
Baby, you're acting strange
But that won't change one thing
It feel it don't change not one single thing
If it was a woman or man
I'm tired and fed up, no love, no trust
I wonder what happened to us, oh babe
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
I don't know if I love you anymore
I'm not sure you're the girl I used to know
I Don't Know
O'Jays' 1971 hit 'I Don't Know' stands as a quintessential example of soulful R&B from the early era of the group's discography. Recorded during a period when the band was refining its signature blend of smooth vocals and intricate horn arrangements, the track exemplifies the polished production style that would define their later success. While often associated with their massive 1972 breakthrough 'For the Love of Money', this earlier recording showcases the same lush instrumentation and emotive delivery that characterized their work in the early 1970s. The song remains a staple of classic soul radio, reflecting the era's focus on romantic themes and sophisticated musicality.
