You always said I don't know you
I'm not like you but you don't know what I'm about
I asked you out, you jerked me about
And I reacted how I know how

(But now)
What about the time I talked to you?
(To find out)
Where we stood and where we stood was
(Drunk and)
Barefoot on the sidewalk of the 7-11, oh, I was in heaven

I don't know you and I'm not love by you
And I don't have a void inside me
Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need

So you've come around to town to work where I play
Praying for the day that you'd come around
To where I was with you with
My head on my hands and you in my heart

(But now)
What about the time I talked to you?
(To find out)
Where we stood and where we stood was
(Drunk and)
Barefoot on the sidewalk of the 7-11, oh, I was in heaven

I don't know you and I'm not love by you
And I don't have a void inside me
Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need

(Give me the chance)
To be a man, not just a friend who understands
If I've got the brains
(And the balls)
To write this song from John Denver
(Country road)

I deserve a shot
(And you could tell me)
To go to hell and I would go
And write a song there from where I was
Just like this one, written well
And I would call it the song from hell

I don't know you and I'm not love by you
And I don't have a void inside me
Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need

I don't know you and I'm not love by you
And I don't have a void inside me
Shaped like you forged by my hopeless need
