I Don't Even Know Myself [Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970]

[Verse 1] There's nothing in the way I walk that could tell you where I'm going There's nothing in the words I speak that can betray anything I'm knowing Don't think about the way I dress, you can fit me on a labeled shelf Don't pretend that you know me cause I don't even know myself Ooh I don't know myself [Chorus] I don't mind if you try once in a while I don't mind if I cry once in a while The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream [Verse 2] Don't listen to the words I say, weighing up if I'm enlightened Don't shiver as you pass me by, cause mister I'm the one who's frightened The police just came and left, they wanted me and no one else Don't pretend that you know me cause I don't even know myself I said I don't know myself [Chorus] [Verse 3] Do you remember me, I don't remember you Do you still love me, you know I think you do I have been gone, and some prison warden knows my scream I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream There's only five who know my real name And my mother don't believe they know it What she called me is the way I'm staying And no nigga will ever know it Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves Don't pretend that you know me cause I don't even know myself I said I don't know myself [Outro] I don't mind if you try once in a while And I don't mind if I cry once in a while
