Pete Townshend - I Don't Even Know Myself lyrics

There's nothing in the way I walk That can tell you where I'm going There's nothing in the way I speak That can betray anything I'm knowing Don't think that by the way I dress You can fit me on a labeled shelf Don't pretend that you know me Cause I don't even 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 pa** me by Cos 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 Wish I did 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 warder knows my scream I just gotta 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 calls me is the way I'm staying And no n******g's gonna ever throw 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 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
