The-Dream
I Don’t Know
[Intro]
Yeah, right
Yeah, right
Yeah, right
Yeah, ha, turn the lights on

[Chorus]
I don't know why (I don't know why)
She keeps on passin' me by
Maybe her eye is just on some other guy
And I'll forever be that fella on the side
She passes me by

[Verse 1]
As I hopped off the train, this shawty caught my eye
I asked her for her name, she gave me no reply
She left me standing there with arrows in my heart
But yet and still I'm wanting her
And later on that week while driving in my car
I coulda sworn I saw that shawty walking out the bar
I thought she glanced at me while I was staring from afar (From afar)
Or is just my young mind wishing

[Chorus]
I don't know why (I don't know why)
She keeps on passin' me by (She keeps on passin' me by)
Maybe her eye is just on some other guy (I don't know)
And I'll forever be that fella on the side
She passes me by
[Post-Chorus]
Come back, come back, come back (Come back)
Come back, come back, come back
(I said come back, baby)
Come back, come back, come back (Hoo)
Come back, come back, come back (Yeah)
Come back, come back, come back
(I want you here by me, by my side)
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back (Oh)
Come back, come back, come back (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
It gets so confusing, this game
I met a lot of girls but never felt this way
I get strange pleasure, though, from going through this pain
And like a ghost I'm haunting her
I often fantasize about walking hand in hand (Walking hand in hand)
But I don't know her name or if she's got a man (Hoo)
And the only thing that gives me hope to stay
Is maybe one day she'll notice me

[Chorus]
I don't know why (I don't know why)
She keeps on passin' me by, (She keeps on passin' me by)
Maybe her eye is just on some other guy (Some other guy, oh)
And I'll forever be that fella on the side
(But I don't wanna be on the side, baby)
[Post-Chorus]
Come back, come back, come back
(Why don't you come back)
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
(I know you want to)
Come back, come back, come back (Oh, oh)
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back (Whoa)
Come back, come back, come back (Whoa)
Come back, come back, come back (Baby)
