Lyrics
What You Don’t Know)
You don’t Know
What you don’t know
You don’t Know
What you don’t know
Now when I was a young man
I thought I knew the truth
Now I realise it was
The arrogance of youth
It takes a lot of knowledge
Searching near and far
Before you finally realise
How ignorant you are.
You Just don’t know
You Just don’t know
Doesn’t matter who you are
How many books you’ve read
You never can predict for us
The things that lie ahead.
Pick yourself a subject
Take yourself a stance
Chances are you’re talkin’ out
The seat of your fine pants
You Just don’t know
You Just don’t know
They say a little knowledge
is a dangerous thing,
Seems your wilful ignorance
Is much more worrying
Give me your opinion
Tell me how you feel
Don’t give me conjectures
Just tell me something real
I’m talking about life
I’m talking about love
I’m talking about the things
You ain’t even thought of
Study your religion
Take care of your health
You’ll never know another
Till you know yourself
You Just don’t know
You Just don’t know
