DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING [version 1] (Bob Jackson)
[from Just Wanna Love You vinyl 45 (B-side) - recorded 1976 - released U.S. 1976]

Don't know why you're asking all these questions
I don't know what you're trying to put me through
Don't know what you're doing
Don't know what you're doing at all

We can't see why you're trying to stop me leaving
We can't see what you're trying to make me do
We can't see where you're going
Can't see where you're going at all

I can see that I'm not getting through
Can't you see it's what I have to do?
Won't you try to understand?
Won't you try to realize?
Now you can be just what you want to be
I won't say it's you and I won't say it's me
All I know is that I'm tired and I wanna close my eyes

You know it's gone way past the stage of talking (you know I know)
You know that I know that it's got to change (it's got to change)
I can't hear what you're saying
Can't hear what you're saying at all

You know it's just not worth this aggravation (it's hard to say)
It's hard to say who's right and who is wrong (who's right or wrong)
Don't know what you're doing
Don't know what you're doing at all

I can see that I'm not getting through
Can't you see it's what I have to do?
Won't you try to understand?
Won't you try to realize?
Now you can be just what you want to be
I won't say it's you and I won't say it's me
All I know is that I'm tired and I wanna close my eyes

[guitar solo]

Don't know why you're asking all these questions
I don't know what you're trying to put me through
Don't know what you're doing
Don't know what you're doing at all

I don't know what you're doing
Don't know what you're doing at all
I don't know what you're doing
Don't know what you're doing at all
