You don't know me, they don't know me
Y'all don't know me so don't try to judge me
'Cause I'm hard headed, I don't wanna listen
Experience is my teacher, that's how I'm gonna live my life

Now lately it seems as though you're actin' like you're someone else
And the way it used to be you could come to me and tell me what you felt
Now I heard they say what you see is what you get
But that ain't always a fact
But if you turned me inside out I think that you'd gain a new respect

You don't know me, they don't know me
Y'all don't know me so don't try to judge me
'Cause I'm hard headed I don't wanna listen
Experience is my teacher, that's how I'm gonna live my life

Seems like everybody knows my mind better than I know my own
Always questionin' the things that I do I wish y'all leave me alone
I may hang out and drink a lot but that's just how I get down
If I listen to you and him or her I'd never get my feet off of the ground

You don't know me, they don't know me
Y'all don't know me so don't try to judge me
'Cause I'm hard headed, I don't wanna listen
Experience is my teacher, that's how I'm gonna live my life

You think you know me but you don't
You think you know me but you won't
You don't know me, they don't know me
Y'all don't know me so don't try to judge me
'Cause I'm hard headed, I don't wanna listen
Experience is my teacher, that's how I'm gonna live my life

You don't know me, they don't know me
Y'all don't know me so don't try to judge me
'Cause I'm hard headed, I don't wanna listen
Experience is my teacher, that's how I'm gonna live my life

You don't know me, they don't know me
Y'all don't know me so don't try to judge me
'Cause I'm hard headed, I don't wanna listen
Experience is my teacher, that's how I'm gonna live my life
