"You Don't Know My Mind" lyrics
"You Don't Know My Mind"
I went to the racetrack, my man he won
Gave the money to another gal and wouldn't give me none
You don't know, you don't know my mind
You see me laughin', laughin' just to keep from cryin'
I said to papa, "Can you stand to see me cry?"
He said, "Gal, I can stand to see you die."
You don't know, you don't know my mind
You see me laughin', laughin' just to keep from cryin'
He said he didn't want me, I wasn't good enough
I'm gonna get myself another man and call his bluff
You don't know, you don't know my mind
'Cause when you see me laughin', laughin' just to keep from cryin'
I'm not good lookin', I don't dress fine
But I'm the kind of woman who will take her time
You don't know, you don't know my mind
You see me laughin', laughin' just to keep from cryin'
The grass is green, and the mountains are blue
That's not tellin' what I'm thinkin' about you
You don't know, you don't know my mind
Yeah you see me laughin', laughin' just to keep from cryin'
I said you don't know, you never know
I said you don't know, you don't know, you don't know my mind
When you see me laughin', I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'

Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear now

It had to be you.
I've wandered around,
finally found somebody who,
Could make me be true.
Whoa whoa whoa could make me be blue.

Bonnie Raitt - "Love Me Like A Man" These men that I've been seeing, baby
Got their soul up on the shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand...
