"What You Don't Know" lyrics

"What You Don't Know"
(originally by Jim Lauderdale)

Those are the things that nobody tells you
Those are the things that nobody knows
There is a key but you'll never find it
To the house where nobody goes

Standing in line down at the station
Hundreds of men without a home
There are some things that nobody tells you
Deep in their hearts where nobody goes

Ah ooh oh
Ah ooh, what you don't know
Ee ooh oh
You'd be surprised by what you don't know

Deep in the night a thousand questions
You gotta see right through the dark
You gotta hear and not even listen
Nobody tells you who you are

Ah ooh oh
Ah ooh, what you don't know
Ee ooh oh
You'd be surprised by what you don't know

Ah ooh oh
Ah ooh, what you don't know
Ah ooh oh
You'd be surprised by what you don't know
